The year 2025 has begun for Real Madrid with no break in sight, as the team faces a challenging test in the Spanish Super Cup against Real Mallorca next Thursday.<\/p>\n
Despite the tough challenges ahead, Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s squad has made a strong start to the year, fully aware of the difficulty in replicating past successes. Club president Florentino P\u00e9rez recently commented, \u201cIt\u2019s tough to match what we\u2019ve achieved, but we\u2019ll continue to fight for more titles. We began the season with two trophies, and we are focused on competing in both the league and the Champions League, as well as other titles.\u201d<\/p>\n
P\u00e9rez\u2019s remarks suggest the club will remain ambitious and continue to strive for more achievements in the current and future seasons. This explains why P\u00e9rez and sporting director Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel S\u00e1nchez are considering the transfer market, even though Ancelotti had previously stated that discussions about January signings are not easy.<\/p>\n
Ancelotti remarked earlier, \u201cWe\u2019ll see, that\u2019s all I can say. We have many matches in January, and we are focused on those for now. Talking about transfers isn\u2019t simple at the moment, and it\u2019s not the right time. I\u2019m happy with the team I have, and we always find a way to overcome challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, according to Spanish newspaper *Defensa Central*, the club\u2019s sports department is already planning for the 2025-26 season and is eyeing potential signings. Players like Alphonso Davies, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Martin Zubimendi, and Florian Wirtz have all been linked with the club.<\/p>\n
Wirtz, who was considered a possible addition to strengthen Madrid\u2019s midfield following Toni Kroos\u2019 departure, may no longer be a priority due to the current squad\u2019s balance, especially after the absence of the legendary German player. In fact, Madrid does not see a place for Wirtz at present, despite his talent and popularity, as players like Jude Bellingham and Arda G\u00fcler already bring similar qualities. Additionally, Wirtz\u2019s high asking price, potentially over 100 million euros, is another hurdle for P\u00e9rez and S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
