Real Madrid has continued to monitor a number of players, even though the transfer window has closed and they are no longer able to sign any new players. This is part of Real Madrid’s strategy to strengthen the team’s roster.
Real Madrid is interested in the lightning-quick Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich to fill the left back position, which is one of the most important areas that has to be addressed.
On the other hand, it is difficult to say for definite whether or not Davies will visit the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Not to mention the fact that the top player for Bayern Munich is going to command a very high price.
Real Madrid is considering Ian Maatsen as a potential replacement player.
A report that was published not too long ago by Fichajes provided an update on Real Madrid’s search for a new left-back player.
Ian Maatsen, a promising young player for Chelsea, has been suggested as a possible replacement for Davies by Bayern Munich, who has shown interest in extending the latter’s current deal.
Real Madrid has a high opinion of the Chelsea talent, who is 21 years old and has the capacity to move the ball out of defensive zones. His technical skill is one reason for this. In addition, he is capable of playing the position of left back as well as left-sided center back.
Maatsen is coming off of a successful loan term at Burnley from the previous season. During that time, the teenager racked up six goals and four assists, which contributed to the promotion of the Clarets to the Premier League. Maatsen is coming off of that successful loan spell.
Someone to take the position of Ferland Mendy?
Everything points to Real Madrid making preparations for Ferland Mendy’s exit, with the Frenchman expected to leave the club at the end of the season as his frustrations build over his fitness difficulties. Real Madrid have done everything that points in this direction.
Real Madrid is interested in bringing in Davies as a straight replacement for Maatsen, but Maatsen could turn out to be a better and more cost-effective option.
Since Maatsen’s current deal at Chelsea is set to expire at the conclusion of the season, it is possible that the Dutch player will sign a free transfer contract with Real Madrid in the summer of 2019.
Even though Maatsen still needs some experience at the greatest level, the teenager might prove to be a fantastic amount of investment for Real Madrid as they hunt for a long-term fix in the left-back position. Even though Maatsen still need some experience at the top level.
