[Saba Sports News] Real Madrid has had disappointing performances in the Champions League and La Liga, failing to match its strength despite having a luxury squad of almost €1bn. The trio of centre-front stars, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, worth a combined 180 million euros, failed to produce good chemistry in the first round of the Champions League. There were also problems at the back, with Aurelien Tchouameni making more mistakes in midfield and limited defensive impact since his return, while the central defence was not at the top of its game. So despite Real Madrid’s high price tag, there is actually room for improvement.

Recently, the western media of Real Madrid’s summer recruitment targets and existing problems were analyzed, predicting the changes of the next season’s lineup. On the basis of maintaining the core of the current lineup, the team plans to strengthen the defense of the middle and back court. The trident will be Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo, with Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Rodri in midfield, The defensive line included Alphonso Davies, William Saliba, Antonio Rudiger and Trent Alexander-Arnold, The goalkeeper remains Thibaut Courtois.
Obviously, Real Madrid’s transformation in the middle and back of the field is greater. To compensate for the lack of firmness in midfield, the team plans to bring in Rodri from Atletico Madrid. As a Spain international, Rodri is highly regarded by Real Madrid, but it is difficult to bring in because of Manchester City’s cooperation with him very well. In addition, Arsenal’s young central defender Saliba is worth up to 80 million euros, is the best in the world of central defenders, Arsenal in the defensive end of the outstanding performance is also inseparable from his tacit cooperation with Gabriel.
