200 million has been spent! ESPN: Real Madrid pays 11.5 million to sign Alonso and will not sign new players before selling

July 17 ESPN reported that Real Madrid has spent about $200 million this summer, and Real Madrid will not sign new players before further selling.

Although neither Real Madrid nor Leverkusen announced the amount of Alonso's transfer fee, it was revealed that its transfer fee could be as high as $11.5 million.

Subsequently, Real Madrid signed several strong players by paying the termination fee. The team spent $68 million to introduce central defender Wyson from Bournemouth. His performance in the Club World Cup was immediately effective and widely praised.

In order to allow Arnold, whose contract is about to expire, to join in advance and play in the Club World Cup, Real Madrid paid Liverpool US$11.5 million. Recently, the team once again confirmed two signings by triggering the termination fee: Mastantono), with a total price of US$73 million (of which 45 million belongs to the River Plate team); and A fee, with a fee of US$58 million.

Sources pointed out that there are different opinions on the possibility of introducing Liverpool central defender Connaet. But given that its contract is only one year away, Real Madrid does not rule out replicating Arnold-style operations.

A source close to the Real Madrid coach told ESPN that Alonso's team was missing a player of his type. "The current midfielder Joan Améni and Camavenga are not known for holding the ball. Rodri, the most beloved candidate of the team's top executives, was unable to introduce this summer due to injury, resulting in obvious tactical shortcomings in midfield operation.

The source revealed to ESPN that the Real Madrid scout team still hopes to introduce a "classic winger" who can open up space and stick to the wing activities to perfectly fit Alonso's tactical concept. The club has invested a lot of money this summer, and the only prerequisite for subsequent signings is to sell players.

At present, Rodrigo and Ceballos' future have become key. Although Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern and other giants have expressed interest in Rodrigo, there is no official offer yet. According to ESPN, although official information says Rodrigo wants to stay in the team, he lacks a core position in the Club World Cup, and his team is also putting pressure to seek a transfer, the club is open to his sale.

As for Ceballos, after understanding that he is not in Alonso's plan, he is open to leaving the team, and his old club Real Betis is his first choice.
