Real Madrid's transfer plans are taking shape, with the latest incoming link concerning striker Vangelis Pavlidis. While the hottest storyline right now is about Michael Olise, our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 39 possible arrivals and 14 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Enzo Fernández
According to The Athletic, Man Utd could inadvertently help Chelsea sell Enzo Fernández to Real Madrid by signing Aurelien Tchouameni. Los Blancos are expected to pursue the Argentina international, who strongly desires the move, though it is believed they will have to sell a midfielder first. On Wednesday, transfer reporter Ben Jacobs stated that talks are underway between Fernandez's camp and Real Madrid, although Chelsea has not yet received formal contact. An approach is considered likely once personal terms are agreed, with the move being driven by José Mourinho. Earlier on Wednesday, BBC Sport’s Nizaar Kinsella reported that talks between the clubs had resumed, with the last price quoted by Chelsea being £120m.
Vangelis Pavlidis
Vangelis Pavlidis is listed as a potential option for Real Madrid as the club seeks a backup striker this summer. It is reported that Manager José Mourinho wants to sign an alternative forward, and Pavlidis is described as physically strong, hard-working, and an effective goal-scorer. Other clubs like Beşiktaş and Chelsea have also been linked with him.
Deniz Undav
According to 90min, Deniz Undav is being considered for a potential move to Real Madrid due to his impressive performances for Germany. The report states that with five goal involvements in two games as a substitute, he may have attracted Perez's attention. The report also lists Undav as an option who could follow Joselu's example at Real Madrid this summer.
Nico Paz
Madrid has informed Nico Paz that he is expected to remain in Italy for another year, according to AS. The 21-year-old had been expected to return to the Bernabéu this summer for a €9 million ($10 million) buyback fee after a season with Serie A side Como. Real Madrid’s option on Paz is valid until 2027, which allows them to postpone their decision for another year.
Ayyoub Bouaddi
According to a Wednesday report from The Athletic, Real Madrid is considering Ayyoub Bouaddi, but Enzo Fernández is regarded as the primary candidate for the midfield.
Kees Smit
A report from The Athletic on Wednesday indicates that Real Madrid is considering the Dutch youngster Kees Smit, but that Enzo Fernández is viewed as the leading candidate.
Jacobo Ramon
Real Madrid have spent much of the summer assessing whether to bring Jacobo Ramon back to the club, as he is viewed internally as one of the most notable successes from their recent loan and development strategy. Real Madrid and Como are scheduled to meet this week to discuss his future. The club must decide whether he has a role under Mourinho or whether another transfer would be more beneficial.
