The search for a balance in the squad
In an atmosphere marked by uncertainty, Real Madrid is immersed in the task of defining its squad for the coming season. As the deadline for the transfer market approaches, the board is working not only on integrating new signings, but also on the difficult mission of getting rid of players that coach Carlo Ancelotti does not want.
Vallejo: an uncertain future within the institution
One of the protagonists of this story is Jesús Vallejo, whose presence in the team seems more of a hindrance than an asset. Despite being under the umbrella of Real Madrid, his role has been marginal, and Ancelotti is urgently seeking his exit. The situation is getting more complicated as the transfer window progresses without any concrete offers materialising.
The numbers don’t help
Last season, Vallejo was loaned to Granada, where his impact was minimal, playing just three games. Due to recurring physical problems, his development has been cut short, leaving the possibility of a transfer in a worrying limbo.
Limited options in the market
As of today, it is estimated that few teams in the league have shown interest in the young defender. This lack of proposals puts in jeopardy not only Vallejo’s future, but also the management of resources of the club that seeks to free up salaries and space in its squad.
A possible resolution: letter of freedom
Given the current stalemate, some members of the club have begun to discuss the viable option of granting Vallejo a free transfer. Such a move would not only facilitate his departure, but would also allow Real Madrid to free up salary cap space and offer the player an opportunity to negotiate a new contract on more favourable terms.
Challenges in defense: the desire for a new addition
The challenge of dislodging Vallejo is added to the task of Ancelotti, who has expressed his desire to strengthen the defence following the departure of Nacho. His defensive line is considered to lack depth, which has pushed the board to put several names on the table to consider as possible reinforcements.
Next steps in Real Madrid’s strategy
With a tight schedule, the Merengue club has committed to closing a deal that not only satisfies Ancelotti’s expectations, but also those of a fan base eager to see a competitive team. The key will be to act quickly to achieve the desired balance in the squad before the transfer market closes.
