Hi, Steemians!
Real Madrid has not started the league championship very well and both the coach and President Florentino Pérez are already looking at the current winter market to try to improve a template that today has several weak points and many things that correct for the final stretch of the championship.
GARETH BALE
The White team already missed a good opportunity to get rid of the Welsh player in summer but his performance improvement changed the plans of the coach who considered it important for the team at that time. One of the teams that most asked for the player was Manchester United who was very aware of the situation of Bale and his coach, the Portuguese Mourinho seemed to lurk. The Portuguese coach himself clearly recognized in the preview of the European Supercup. "If it's for sale, I'll try to wait and fight for it," said the Luso in Skopje. Bale played that game, so it was clear that Zidane was counting on him to end the illusions of José Mourinho.
Its campaign, nevertheless, is quite debatable in relation to the previous ones. The injuries chase him and this campaign has prevented him from playing up to 16 official matches with Real Madrid. He has only played 785 minutes and so much injury has reduced his market value. The specialized website Transfermarkt has just revised its valuation down to 75 million euros; a year ago, I estimated it at € 90 million (16.7% less). In Madrid he continues to maintain a status. but despite this, the Welshman is still the most expensive player in the history of the merengue club, with 101 million euros at the time.
KEYLOR NAVAS
The merengue goal will live a complete chaos in the winter market with the arrival of the goalkeeper of Bilbao, Kepa. The Athletic goalkeeper will arrive to fight the ownership with the Costa Rican Keylor Navas. The domino effect will relegate Casilla to the role of third goalkeeper, although the club will give the squad freedom to decide their future, with Deportivo very aware of what happens. With a situation, the one of Navas, that was already in the eye of the hurricane when the frustrated signing of De Gea, will have to see how the Keylor-Kepa pulse develops. Both have their respective selections and the World Cup in sight. While Kepa will fight to gain a place in Julian Lopetegui's list, in principle Navas can remain calm, because unless there is a last-minute contingency, he seems to have guaranteed ownership with his team. Another thing will be what happens after the appointment of Russia with Navas, which in recent weeks is performing at a high level. He still has a contract until 2020, but has not entered the last two wheels of club renovations.
KARIM BENZEMA
The Frenchman is now more than ever in the sights of several teams in Europe with a possible departure from the club. Benzema's scoring drought (only five goals so far this season and 14 in all 2017) have already upset the fans and Bernabéu said goodbye to the French in 2017 with a clear and forceful whistle when the coach replaced him in The last Classic at home. And if that was not enough, he has returned on vacation with a strange injury that will postpone his start to the new year in at least two weeks, thus prolonging the 254 days that the BBC has unpublished. However, the French has the full confidence of the coach and the club ensuring their place in the team and the eleven unquestionably on several occasions. As with Bale, Transfermarkt has just revised its market value to the downside: 50 million euros. 10 M € and 16.7% less, like Welsh in percentage terms.
Rumors come and go but it will not be if not until in the next few days that we clarify what will be the future of these and many other players. It will be up to another Steemit community opportunity.
