Real Madrid can sign in the next summer after the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) shortened the sanction imposed by FIFA. Therefore, the scouters and the businessmen are already working to sign the best players in the market. They’ve spotted the opportunity to bring on board one of the best players of the Serie A and Real Madrid are getting closer to Paulo Dybala.

The Juventus striker has still to renew his contract with the team and there are a lot of rumours that Real Madrid are getting closer to sign him as the new ‘Galáctico’ for the team. The Spanish newspaper Marca published that the striker has rejected an offer from Barcelona because he’s waiting Real Madrid.

According to the information, Barcelona have tried to sign him for the next transfer market because they see the ‘new Messi’ on him. However, the player has rejected the bid because his dream is wearing the white t-shirt. At the moment, he’s in talks to renew his contract, expiring in 2020. The goal is to get the same money as Gonzalo Higuaín, €7M per year, but it’s going to be complicated as ‘Pipita’ was the most expensive transfer operation in the Italian football.

Beppe Marota, Juventus boss, knows that Real Madrid are already approaching the footballer, so they want to rush and get the new deal as soon as possible. Pierpaolo Triulzi, Dybala’s agent, has already booked an appointment with Juventus to speak about the Argentinian’s future.

In the operation could be included Morata. This week the Italian press published that the Spaniard misses Italy and he would be keen to be back to Torino. Therefore, the two giants clubs could agree in an exchange of strikers for the next season.

Zinedine Zidane spoke in press conference before facing Granada in La Liga at Santiago Bernabéu stadium on Saturday morning. The Real Madrid manager was asked several times about Piqué’s word, who complained yesterday about the referees after the defeat against Athletic Club in Copa del Rey.

“I don’t look or want to speak about this debate
. We’re thinking in tomorrow’s game and that’s it. About the referees, I’m not going to comment, it’s very difficult their task [..]. It’s complicated. I want to highlight their difficult job. I don’t speak about them. It’s the third question about it, and I’m not going to speak”, Zidane said avoiding any controversy with the Barcelona defender.

Apart from the referees, the manager was asked about Cristiano Ronaldo, who didn’t play against Sevilla: “We spoke about it, and the only thing you have to think is that he is a very intelligent player. My idea is having Cristiano Ronaldo fit the whole season. If we have 20 games in 70 days he needs to rest from time to time. I see it in that way, so does he. He always wants to play but speaking about it you get things. We want to win eveything we have ahead”.

Zinedine Zidane also highlighted his personality: “He is a leader inside and outside the pitch. He always says a word to every player. He’s absolutely focused when he’s not playing. He know is important and he has a huge energy who transmit it to the others. It’s very important for the group, he’s a leader”.

Another important topic was James Rodríguez. The Colombian shone against Sevilla and he might play again on Saturday: “I saw him in other occasion fine. He scored two goals, especially the first one was important. I’m happy for his goals and his job. I know your concern about James. He’s important but everybody is important”.

Besides, they welcome the new year with one of the best games of the season, beating Sevilla in a great performance.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be back on Saturday after missing the Copa del Rey clash to have some rest. Benzema is also ready to start together with Isco -both were on the bench on Wednesday-. James Rodríguez could repeat in the line up after his two goals in the game. Zidane still has injury problems with Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Lucas Vázquez, Kovacic or Bale sidelined.

Granada are struggling in the bottom three of the table. The team improved in the last month of 2016 with two victories and one draw.

Cuenca, Saunier and Foulquier could miss the game with different injury problems.

Real Madrid v Granada Prediction

We can only see an easy victory for Real Madrid on Saturday. .Los Blancos showed on Wednesday that they are back from the holidays stronger than ever and Zinedine Zidane can count again on Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema to lead the attacking line.

Besides, Granada is one of the worse teams of La Liga. Their performances are getting better and they even beat Sevilla at home and only lost 1-0 on the road against Barcelona. However, we think Real Madrid should win easily this game.

Los Blancos suffered to beat Granada last season and only a goal from Benzema gave the three points to Benítez’s team. At Los Cármenes, Real Madrid also won (1-2) with the French striker scoring another goal. We want also to remember the great result obtained two season ago (9-1) with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring five goals.

Pepe is on his way to China, so Real Madrid scouters are looking into the market to find a suitable replacement for the Portuguese defender. Despite Zinedine Zidane said he will count with Pepe until the end of the season, the full back could leave Spain in June to finish his brilliant career in China.

Real Madrid have the perfect replacement for Pepe at home. Jesús Vallejo is shining in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt and he’s been named as one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga. The former Zaragoza player could be back to Spain in summer to join Real Madrid as the fourth defender in case Pepe finally leaves the club.

However, Jesús Vallejo is still very young and it might be better to give him on loan another year, so he can enjoy more minutes. So Real Madrid are looking for more options in the market. At this point, the Italian newspaper ‘Il Corriere dello Sport’ published that Los Blancos are interested in the Lazio defender Wallace, just arrived in Italy.

Wallace Fortuna dos Santos is only 22 years old and he’s playing his first season with Lazio. The Italian team played €9M to the Portuguese side Braga. However, Wallace didn’t play in Primeira Liga but in Mónaco, where he’s been on loan the last two season, playing 40 games in Ligue One. This season he’s played 13 games with Lazio in Serie A, scoring 1 goal. He arrived to Europe in 2014 from Cruzeiro.

The full back position is really well covered at Real Madrid. Raphael Varane and Nacho showed against Sevilla again that they are able to play in any team. Actually, Nacho’s good performances made him very interesting for several European teams. The Spaniard was about to leave the club in summer for the lack of opportunities but Zidane finally convinced him to stay. Roma was among the teams who showed interest in signing him. If he doesn’t play very often until the end of the season, Nacho might be tempted to leave, so there will be two spots available in the defence. Therefore, Real Madrid have to open the eyes and look for other options in the market.

Zinedine Zidane celebrated his first anniversary as a Real Madrid coach with a great victory over Sevilla. Los Blancos played one of the best games of the season and got a great result in the Last 16 Round of Copa del Rey.

The victory came without the BBC in the pitch: “Other footballers who don’t play than often were in the pitch, we can change the formation, but the idea is the same. The first 45 minutes were amazing physically and technically, almost perfect. I can tell you it’s a good result for a draw”.

One of the best players on the pitch was James Rodríguez, who confirmed he will stay at Real Madrid the whole season: “He did a good game. He worked, scored two goals, his work has been important, like everybody else. I’m happy for his game. I’m happy for the minutes of Asensio or Morata. Defensively we did a superb game. Now we need to rest”.

Perhaps, we saw on Wednesday the best first half of the season: “I don’t know, but we came in very strong. We worked for this and we did it. The truth is that when you start in this way and you score goals everything is easier. It’s better for the rest of the match”, Zidane said in press conference.

Real Madrid were able to beat Sevilla despite the several injuries and they pressured very high: “We also did it with the BBC and other players. The most important thing is that when you introduce a new player, he always give you something extra. I’m happy because we have a great squad […]. There were some players injured and we can’t change this but when somebody else plays they do it well and the coach is always happy. Obviously, there are some players more important than others, but we are going to win with everybody”.

Zidane also confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will be back against Granada: “On Saturday he will play and he’s going to play a lot of game. We don’t have to worry”. Finally, Zidane also spoke about what the team has ahead in 2017: “Starting in this way the year is very important. We spoke about having a lot of pace and we have to keep in this way because it’s going to be a tough year”.

James Rodríguez was one of the best footballers in the game against Sevilla. Real Madrid played a great game, perhaps the best in the season, and they were able to beat the Andalusian team with some footballers who are not use to play very often. Among them was James Rodríguez, who shone with two goals and a great effort.

Zinedine Zidane decided to change the Colombian in the second half and the supporters didn’t hesitate to stand up and applause. James Rodríguez finished the year complaining about his situation at Real Madrid and started the new one with a great game and he confirmed he will stay in Spain.

“Everybody who is in the team wants to play and everybody goes through bad moments. But now a new year starts for me. I stay, I stay at Real Madrid”, James Rodríguez said about his future with Los Blancos. The manager was also very convinced about this matter in the previous day by saying he wants James Rodríguez to stay in the club.

In the first game of the year, Zidane gives him the opportunity to speak in the pitch and James took it: “I only want to play well when I have the chance, the possibility to do good things like today. Helping scoring goals”, James Rodríguez said after the game. Actually the Colombian was the best player in the pitch, not only for the goals, but for the whole game.

Nevertheless, James Rodríguez was not the only one to play a great game. All his team mates did a great performance and they showed Zidane that the manager has several alternatives if he looks at the bench: “We’ve been well despite the injuries, and this is the most important thing. The result is good. However, the draw is not over and we have to travel to Seville very focus and with intensity”, James finished.

Real Madrid played one of the best games of the season in the first clash of the year. Los Blancos beat (3-0) Sevilla and they are very close to the quarter final round of Copa del Rey. We have to give a lot of credit to Zinedine Zidane, who put a team without many stars and they did a great performance. Los Blancos want every title and they are going to fight for them.

Zidane surprised with a new line up. Benzema stayed in the bench and Morata was the only striker. Asensio and James were the playmaker whereas Isco stayed on the bench. The manager, again, was right and put the best team of the pitch, as it was shown in the first half.

Real Madrid played one of the best first half of the season. Los Blancos pressured very high and stole a lot of balls very easily creating a lot of problems to Sergio Rico. Actually, the first goal came from a ball stolen by Casemiro and James Rodríguez shot outside the box, finding the net. Real Madrid continued in this way and Varane headed the second goal from a corner kick. Before, Marcelo almost scored from a great volley.

Mateu Lahoz, the referee, was one of the protagonist of the game. Sevilla footballers protested a lot of action but he was even able to whistle a push from James to Modric as a penalty for Real Madrid. James Rodríguez didn’t miss the chance and converted from the penalty spot.

In the second half, Real Madrid didn’t stop. They kept pressuring the team and looking for the rival’s goalie. However, they looked more tired and didn’t have so many chances. The team also played really well defensively and didn’t concede any chance. So Los Blancos could keep the result and they are even closer to the quarter final of Copa del Rey. Great result, great game.

The Italian newspaper ‘Il Corriere dello Sport’ published in the first page Álvaro Morata’s desire to return to Italy. According to the Italian press, the Spanish striker misses Torino and he would be happy to go back to the ‘bianconero’ team.

It is a shocking cover page in ‘Il Corriere dello Sport’ because Morata has just arrived to Real Madrid in summer and he’s having several minutes with Zidane. Obviously, the striker is not always in the starting line up but he’s having an important role in the squad. According to the newspaper, Morata misses Italy and he felt more beloved in Italy than in Spain.

The Spanish striker is speaking with his former colleages at Juventus and they are trying to convince him to go back to Italy. The Spaniard thinks that he could be more important in the Italian team and enjoy more minutes. However, Morata was never a key player in his two years in Italy, struggling to be in the line up with Antonio Conte or Massimiliano Allegri.

Morata is now engaged with an Italian model and this could be also important for his future. In Italy, they say the striker is regretting leaving Torino and his return will be close. Morata has played only 12 games in La Liga, scoring 5 goals, including the last important one against Deportivo La Coruña.

Zinedine Zidane said in press conference that he is not worried about this gossip: “I don’t believe this information is very true. I see him happy to be here because this is his home. He’s working well. I see him very focus in the project. I don’t think it’s true what it’s said about him, you should ask him”, the manager said in press conference.

This information in Italy comes after the rumour about Real Madrid interest in Paulo Dybala. The Argentinian striker has to renew his contract with Juventus and all the important teams in Europe are following his performances in Italy.

Can we see a swap between Real Madrid and Juventus strikers?

Zinedine Zidane will have some problems to find a line up for tonight’s game against Sevilla in Copa del Rey (Santiago Bernabéu stadium, 20:15 UK time). Los Blancos have a lot of players injured after the FIFA Clubs World Cup and the French manager will have to put in the pitch some players with less minutes this season.

The biggest surprise in Zidane’s list was the exclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker played the final in Japan with some problems and the manager prefered to not risk and give him some rest. Zidane is the only manager able to make Cristiano rest for a bit. We have to remember that the striker didn’t play as well in the last game at home, in la Liga against Deportivo back in December.

Therefore, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale out of the team, there is space for other players. In these situations, Lucas Vázquez had always a place in the line up, but now the winger is also injured. Álvaro Morata could have his opportunity in the attacking line together with Karim Benzema.

In the midfield, Mateo Kovacic is also injured and James Rodríguez is supposed to start after not playing any minute against Kashima Antlers in Japan. Isco could be his pair in the playmaking area, with Luka Modric or Toni Kroos having some rest.

Zidane has also problems in the defense line. Pepe and Sergio Ramos are injured, so Raphael Varane and Nacho will be the full back pair. Both played together at Vicente Calderón this year, thrashing Atlético Madrid in the derby. Dani Carvajal and Marcelo should the right and left back. In the goal, Kiko Casilla will be the goalkeeper in the Copa del Rey, giving some rest to Keylor Navas.

Again the quality of the squad will be tested against Sevilla. This season Real Madrid have a very competitive squad and Zizou has shown his skills on how to handle it. The Copa del Rey fixture against Sevilla will be a very important test to see how Los Blancos are after travelling to Japan to win another trophy.
