Real Madrid Transfers news: Real Madrid want duo worth €120 million as replacements for Ramos and Modric, who are set to leave and more

Hello and welcome to the Real Madrid transfer news roundup for the day! Here are the top stories surrounding the Whites!

#3 The want for Wenger and Hermoso

Arsene Wenger and Real Madrid has been somewhat of a forbidden love story. The Galacticos had approached him numerous times but couldn’t get him to resign from his post at Arsenal and take the hot seat at the Bernabeu.

In hindsight, it might have worked out for the best for the Merengues as they have won four Champions League titles this decade while Arsene Wenger somewhat tainted his own legacy at Arsenal.

Speaking about the French tactician, former PSG president Charles Villeneuve has claimed what everyone already know. According to him, the Galacticos wanted to hire the former Arsenal manager but he opted to stay with the Gunners instead.

“Two clubs always wanted him as a coach. One was Bayern Munich, because he speaks four different languages,” he said.

“I also went to a gymnasium in Italy to attend negotiations with Real Madrid, but he stayed at Arsenal.”

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have been linked with a move for their academy graduate Mario Hermoso. The problems in Madrid’s defence are increasing by the hour due to injuries and Hermoso is an option they are considering.

According to the player, however, he is not sure whether Madrid are interested in him and that he is happy at Espanyol.

“I don’t know if Real Madrid are interested in signing me, I’m very happy with Espanyol right now,” said Hermoso.

His manager at Espanyol Rubi, meanwhile, is hoping that the Blancos won’t force the issue with the defender as he is happy at Cornella El Prat.

“My guts tell me that Real Madrid won’t force anything with Hermoso. He’s very happy here and I believe he will stay at least until the end of the season,” Rubi said.

#2 De Jong, Pedrinho and some more

Frenkie De Jong has been linked with several clubs over the last few months with Barcelona leading the way. However, it seems as though the Galacticos have also joined the race to sign the talented Dutch midfielder.

The Merengues want to sign the Dutchman in January itself, according to Sport, as they see him as a possible replacement for their star midfielder Luka Modric.

Meanwhile, it seems as though the Blancos are going to sign every talent available in Brazil as they have been linked with a move for Pedrinho by Marca. The Brazilian has also been linked with Barcelona and has a price tag of $50 million.

Finally, in their transfer roundup, the Guardian claim that Real Madrid want to sign a striker in January and have linked them with three big names: Radamel Falcao, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Harry Kane.

#1 Modric and Ramos replacement eyed

The biggest stories of the day surround the two biggest players at the Bernabeu. At first, we shall start with the captain Sergio Ramos. It seems as though things have hit a dead end for Ramos and the Blancos if rumours are to be believed.

His case is being dubbed as the next Iker Casillas one. The former goalkeeper left Real Madrid in a highly unceremonious fashion as his relationship with the hierarchy got tainted a bit.

Florentino Perez, meanwhile, is on the lookout for a potential replacement as Don Balon claim that the Madrid supreme is looking at former player Diego Llorente as the successor of Ramos. The Spaniard would cost around €20 million.

Finally, Luka Modric is not getting any younger and Perez knows this. As a result, Madrid are also looking at midfielders to replace him and think that Tottenham’s Dele Alli suits the profile.

According to Don Balon, the Galacticos have lined up €80 million for him but Spurs want around €100 million for the Englishman.
