In the national derby, Real Madrid lost 0-4 at home to Barcelona, ending a four-game la liga winning streak. The reason is that core players such as Benzema and Modric are older and cannot maintain their vitality sustainably, and the bench depth is not enough. Therefore, this summer, Real Madrid is bound to implement a blood change for the squad.
In addition to mbappe and Haaland, who are well known in the front, Real Madrid also hope to strengthen the midfield. At present, Camaringa, which was introduced in the summer window last year, can well replace Casemiro's position, coupled with Valverde's blessing, the position of the back is relatively safe. The biggest problem is that Kroos and Modric are the duo of midfielders, who are both older. According to Spanish media "El Nacional", Real Madrid sees Inter midfielder Barrera as a replacement for Kroos and is ready to impress the Nerazzurri with 80 million euros. Barrera, 25, has made 27 Appearances in Serie A this season, contributing two goals and 10 assists, making the team's midfield core. In manager Carlo Ancelotti's view, Barrera is the perfect successor to Kroos.
In addition, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham is also the focus of Real Madrid. Bellingham, who turned 19 in June, has played 37 times for the Hornets in all competitions this season, scoring six goals and assisting 14 times, and his value has soared to 75 million euros. The all-round midfielder is regarded as an English supernova, and many Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are hoping to bring the Birmingham-based genius back to the Premier League, but he himself is not cold and seems to be more enthusiastic about foreign leagues. Because of this, real Madrid has greater hopes of recruiting Bellingham.
For the vision of the two geniuses, both the media and the fans are very optimistic. You know, Kroos is 32 years old, injuries are gradually increasing, and according to his career plan, he will choose to hang up his boots early. Modric turned 37 in September and is already in the service, so the two super midfielders are seen as the best successors.
