Jesús Vallejo Eintracht Frankfurt

Real Madrid have many young players in the squad and several young talents on loan in European teams. Nacho, Marco Asensio and Mateo Kovacic are the present and the future of Real Madrid, but Zinedine Zidane has the difficult task of giving them importance in the team. However, there are other players who are on loan as Jesús Vallejo, Marcos Llorente, Diego Llorente and Mayoral who can return to Madrid at the end of the season.

One of the young talents that have Real Madrid is Jesús Vallejo, who left last summer on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt. He is playing a very complete season being one the best full backs in all the Bundesliga. Many important European teams are interested on him because he has a great progression and he seems capable to give a “jump” in his career. Eintracht Frankfurt know that it will be very difficult to have the player for anther season but it’s possible that Real Madrid let him one year more on loan, with the goal of growing even more as a player.

Zinedine Zidane wants him at Madrid next year, but everyone thinks that if Pepe leaves on summer, Jesus Vallejo will return to Madrid. However, Real Madrid may have decided that it’s not a good idea to have the young Spaniard as the fourth full back because he will not have many minutes, so Zinedine Zidane prefers to sign a player from Real Madrid Castilla instead Jesús Vallejo.

Players like Carvajal and Morata also went on loan to different European countries and the result was satisfactory. The Spaniard right back played for Bayern Leverkusen and he was named the best right back in that season, while Morata went to Juventus where he grew as a player, being one of the best players in all team.

Zinedine Zidane spoke two weeks after his last press conference after the game against Real Sociedad. Los Blancos are back in the pitch this Saturday to face Osasuna at Pamplona, a cursed stadium for Real Madrid.

Zidane remembered his games at Pamplona: “I wasn’t comfortable there. I confirm it’s an unpleasant visit. They always complicate the things and this is not going to change”, the manager said. “We arrived well because we had time to work and this means we go well. It’s a difficult pitch. It’s the top against the bottom and I don’t like that at all. It’s a team that plays well and in their stadium is always complicated. We know what to expect tomorrow”, Zidane confirmed.

Zizou also spoke about the transfer rumours and the possible renewal of Isco’s contract: “This decision will be made by the club and the player. Isco is a key player for us. I like a lot this footballer”. Keylor Navas and the possible signing of De Gea was also present in the press conference: “He’s very well and I have a squad with 24 players and I don’t want to wait, listen or think what is going to happen next. I only focus on my players in the four months of competition we still have”.

Modric and Carvajal are back to the list and the only injury concern is Gareth Bale: “I hope Bale will be ready before the second leg against Napoli. He’s working well. I see him with hope. He only has to train with the team, that the most important issue”.

Zidane also spoke about the controversy about the postponement of the game Celta v Real Madrid: “We always want to play. Of course 15 days without playing is a lot. A decision was made and we respect that and now we have to think in the upcoming games”.

Finally, the manager was also asked about the Copa del Rey final. FC Barcelona want Santiago Bernabéu as the venue, but Florentino Pérez said there were refurbishing works in the summer: “If you ask in Barcelona about Madrid, the answer would be the same. If the president says there are works, there are works”, the French finished.

Fabio Coentrao

Real Madrid scouters are looking for options to replace Fabio Coentrao in the next summer window. Los Blancos know that the Portuguese won’t continue in the club and Marcelo needs someone in his same position, so he could have some rest. Real Madrid are struggling recently in signing a left back, so the Brazilian has to play too many games and he’s been suffering muscular injuries recently.

Fabio Coentrao shouldn’t have come back to Real Madrid this season. The Portuguese left back was playing on loan with Mónaco last year but he got injured and he couldn’t even play in the Euro with Portugal. Real Madrid couldn’t find another club for Fabio Coentrao, so he finally got a spot in the squad.

Coentrao is currently earning €4M per year, so he’s salary prevent many clubs of signing him. However, this will be his last season with Real Madrid. His poor performances this year made clear that he doesn’t have the level to play with Los Blancos.

This year he has only played four games. One in La Liga against Granada (22 minutes), one in Copa del Rey against Cultural Leonesa (32 minutes) and two in Champions League against Sporting Lisbon and Legia Warsaw (96 minutes). Actually, in the game in Lisbon, he committed an absurd penalty with a handball. Afterwards, he apologized with the supporters because he had no level to play with the club.

The option for the future of Fabio Coentrao is in China. According to Fichajes.com, his agent, Jorge Mendes, is already spotting opportunities in the Asian football. With this high salary, the only option for him to retain the same level is going to China. There, he could meet again Pepe, who has also options to go to Asia, if he finally doesn’t renew his contract with Los Blancos.

de-gea-manchesterunited

David De Gea is again the most wanted man in Real Madrid headquarters. The goalkeeper is a target for the new summers and there are a lot of rumours about Florentino Pérez’s intentions to sign the Manchester United goalkeeper.

Diario MARCA published today in their cover that Los Blancos are trying to sign David De Gea again this summer. The club is not happy with Keylor Navas’ performances and they think De Gea could be the perfect replacement.

Florentino Pérez doesn’t accept failure and he could sign the goalkeeper in the summer of 2015 for a problem with the paperwork and the fax. De Gea signed afterwards a new contract with Manchester United until 2019 with the option of extending the deal one year more. Thus, Los Blancos need to negotiate with the Red Devils if they want to bring David De Gea.

The price of the transfer should be around €65M, a record for a goalkeeper. Los Blancos know that the talks will be difficult because they already had the experience of the summer of 2015. The effort, however, will be rewarded with one of the best goalkeepers of the world. Or this is what they thought.

De Gea spoke about his future in an interview with Diario As and he leaves the door opened: “No one knows the future. The future is the future. I’m very happy here, it’s a huge club. In England people enjoy a lot football”.

The Manchester United goalkeeper didn’t want to answer to the question about Real Madrid intentions to sign him in the summer: “I’m not going to talk about this. I don’t want to speak about this topic. Now I want to keep focusing on my club”, De Gea said.

Despite of the good level shown by Keylor Navas, Real Madrid have four options for the goalkeeper. David De Gea, Hugo Lloris, Thibaut Courtois and Gianluigi Donnarumma. Real Madrid have also the option of buying back Pacheco, the goalkeeper currently playing with Alavés, and one of the main protagonist in Alavés achievement of going through the final of Copa del Rey.

callejón-Napoli-GI

The clash Real Madrid v Napoli will be very special for José Callejón. The Spaniard attacker played with Los Blancos only two years but he was one of the favourite players for the supporters and he has always said that he is a madridista. Besides, he played several year in the young squads of the team.

Callejón left Real Madrid in 2013 and Napoli paid Los Blancos €9,5M. Rafa Benítez, the coach of the Italian team by then, wanted the winger and Napoli paid a high transfer fee. His change to the Italian football was very positive and he’s been an important player for Napoli since then.

In these four seasons in Calcio, Callejón won the Coppa Italia and the Italian Supercup in 2014 and he was runner-up in Serie A in 2016, obtaining the qualification to play in this Champions League. In this time, he has scored 41 goals in Serie A and his first season was the best in the club. .

Callejón is very happy in Italy and he’s looking forward to the game at Santiago Bernabéu: “I have strange feelings. Joy because I’m going back to what I call my home, but I didn’t want to meet with them so early, because they are the defending champions. But, for sure, it will be a special game”, CAllejón said to UEFA.

He was also asked about his opinion of the best player in the world. Callejón has no doubts: “For me, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo, because I consider him the most complete player currently”, the winger said. One of his favourite players is also Portuguese: “It was Luis Figo, because he played more or less in my role and I always loved him”.

Callejón also spoke about the “good memories” he had about the Champions League when he was playing with Real Madrid. Unfortunately, Callejón couldn’t lift the title with Los Blancos. He remembers watching the games “with my brother Juanmi, with one ball each one”, the Napoli attacker said.

osasuna_athletic-GI

Real Madrid travel to Pamplona on Saturday evening to face Osasuna, the bottom of the table. The game between the top of La Liga and the worst team should be easy but the recent history of these games warn us about the difficulty of getting the three points out of Pamplona.

Barcelona beat recently Osasuna at their home, but they had to suffer until the second half and thanks to Messi. Sevilla also had difficulties to earn the three points and they had to come back twice to win (3-4) in a great game. Despite these games, the truth is that Osasuna is the worst team in La Liga and they haven’t won any game at home in the competition.

However, Real Madrid always had problems in their stadium. Last time Los Blancos played in La Liga at Reyno de Navarra, former Sadar, Real Madrid only got a draw. Sergio Ramos was sent off in the first half and Osasuna took the lead with two goals scored by Oriol Riera. Ancelotti’s team drew thanks to the goals of Isco and Pepe. Osasuna were relegated to the Second Division that season.

Real Madrid most recent game at Pamplona was the 15th of January 2015 when they met in Copa del Rey. Los Blancos won the first leg at home (2-0) and they beat again Osasuna (0-2) with the goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo and Di María.

In La Liga, Los Blancos haven’t won at Pamplona since 2012. Before, 2013, they only got one point n a goalless draw under Mourinho’s management and with Kaká being sent off. Mourinho was luckier in 2012 and they thrashed Osasuna with Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuaín scoring twice and Benzema opening the score.

Actually the best memories in El Sadar remind us to Gonzalo Higuaín. The Argentinian scored the winner in the 89th minute in 2008 to win La Liga under Schuster’s management.

In the previous two seasons, Real Madrid also lost twice. In 2011, a goal scored by Camuñas meant the defeat and in 2009 Osasuna came back with the goals from Plasil and Juanfran -yes, the one who missed the penalty in the Champions League final- to beat (2-1) Real Madrid, who finished playing with nine players because Míchel Salgado and Huntelaar were sent off.

So, in the last 7 meetings at El Sadar, Real Madrid have only won 2, draw 3 and lost 2 games. Statistics that we should bear in mind when travelling to Pamplona.

After some weeks with the nursery room full, Zinedine Zidane has all the squad available except Gareth Bale, who is already running around the pitch. Daniel Carvajal was the last one to join the full group and he’ll be available to play against Osasuna on Saturday.

The postponement of the game against Celta didn’t bring only bad news. The clash against Napoli is only one week away and Zidane will have to solve a puzzle and decide which players should be on the pitch. Finally, after a lot of weeks, every singles footballer is available, except the Welshman.

However, Real Madrid are optimistic with Bale’s situation. The Welsh international is already training in the gym and in the training ground. He could play again after the game in Champions League, perhaps against Espanyol.

Los Blancos had 13 days to rest from the game against Real Sociedad until the trip to Pamplona to face Osasuna. Dani Carvajal, Marcelo and Luka Modric were injured but they’ve got over their injury problems and all of them are available now. Toni Kroos is the only player, who can’t travel to Pamplona due to suspension.

James Rodríguez is also back with the team after two different injuries in his soleum. The Colombian playmaker started the year with some good performances, but he hasn’t played any minute in La Liga since the 7th of January. There is a place in the starting eleven because of Kroos’ absence but Kovacic is expected to start instead.

The problems in the defensive line have also disappeared. Pepe, Carvajal and Marcelo are back to the team, so the Real Madrid supporters won’t have to see again Danilo for a while. Coentrao is also back to the group, although he’s not expected to be in the line-up in the next games. Perhaps, the unfair situation about this is that Nacho will be back to the bench, although he’s been one of the best players of the team.
