Real Madrid internationals who played in the League of Nations will return to work in Valdebebas, with the Balearic Islands as the protagonist due to uncertainty about their future
Day of reunions in the sports city of Valdebebas. The eight Real Madrid internationals called up for the four days of the League of Nations played last June, as well as Fede Valverde, who defended the Uruguayan team’s colors on those same dates, were called up this Thursday to return to work and makes himself available to Carlo Ancelotti, who now has a full squad to further develop the preseason. Among the reinforcements that the Italian coach can count on from this Thursday are the figures of Antonio Rüdiger and Aurélien Tchouameni, the only two acquisitions Real Madrid have made in the current summer market, although a large part of the spotlight is occupied by Marco Asensio whose future is still up in the air.
The Balearic footballer returned to the Real Madrid facilities with a big smile on his face to undergo the relevant medical examinations before embarking on the strenuous training sessions designed by Antonio Pintus, crucial in a more demanding season than ever, in which the whites will have to play in six competitions and which will also be changed by the celebration of the World Cup in Qatar. An appointment that Asensio would not want to miss for the world and that plays a prominent role in the Mallorcan’s musings about whether it suits him to continue wearing white or whether it is better to have a new stage outside the Spanish capital. to open.
Asensio is today the main unknown in Real Madrid’s roster for the coming season. His contract expires on June 30, 2023 and he has no renewal offer on the table. Despite finishing as the Whites’ third-highest scorer last season thanks to the 12 goals he scored, Chamartín’s leadership is said to be happy with the footballer leaving to make money. Ancelotti appreciates his terms but doesn’t consider him untouchable, far from it, so he wouldn’t object to the Balearic’s advances, which are followed by the likes of Milan or Arsenal. But the stakeholder continues to ponder a decision on which his career depends.
A few months ago, Asensio left his lifelong representative, Horacio Gaglioli, to put his business in the hands of Jorge Mendes. A maneuver that was interpreted as a gesture to go to the market. However, Kylian Mbappe’s decision to stay at PSG has given the Spaniard hopes of breaking through on the right flank of Real Madrid’s attack. A position that was discussed with Rodrygo last season, but which would have been closed had Real Madrid included the Bondy star. Since this signing was not finalized, the Mallorcan sees it possible to have quality minutes to earn a place on Luis Enrique’s list for the World Cup to be held between November 21 and December 18. December.
On June 7, Asensio hinted that he was seriously considering exhausting his contract and becoming a free agent next summer in case Real Madrid did not offer him an extension. Something of which there are no signs for the time being, so the Balearic Islands are still at the crossroads.
Together with Asensio, many eyes were focused on Rüdiger and Tchouaméni, the magnificent acquisitions of the Spanish and European champions. The German arrives to bolster the defensive wall and multiply options in the rear, allowing Alaba to move to the left-handed flank to compete with Mendy when the former Chelsea player is Militao’s dance partner. For his part, the French midfielder, for whom Real Madrid has paid 80 million euros fixed plus 20 in variables, is increasing his muscle in the midfield, where Ancelotti will have two trios with very different profiles: a more technical and experienced one consisting of Casemiro , Kroos and Modric; and a much more physical one consisting of Tchouaméni, Camavinga and Valverde.
