Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday, June 18, in the FIFA Club World Cup group stage tie. Gonzalo Garcia gave the Spanish side the lead in the 34th minute, but the Saudi Pro League side managed to steal a point through Ruben Neves.
Meanwhile, Los Blancos have suffered a setback in their plans to take Myles Lewis-Skelly to the Santiago Bernabeu. Elsewhere, Fenerbahce have set their sights on a Spanish full-back.
On that note, let's look at the major Real Madrid transfer stories from June 19, 2025.
Real Madrid suffer Myles Lewis-Skelly blow
Myles Lewis-Skelly has agreed to extend his stay with Arsenal, according to acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano. The English left-back has been in superb form for the Gunners in the 2024-25 season, and has apparently turned heads at Real Madrid as well.
Trending
Lewis-Skelly will enter the final year of his contract this summer, and Los Blancos were apparently planning to sign him for free in 2026. The LaLiga giants have altered their strategy to target players at the end of their contracts in recent times.
Real Madrid were hoping to repeat the trick with the Englishman, but Arsenal have now poured cold water on their plans. The Gunners have been locked in talks with the 18-year-old for a while regarding a new deal.
Lewis-Skelly apparently wants to continue his stay at the Emirates, despite interest from Los Blancos. Negotiations have now reached a breakthrough, and the player will sign a new deal in the coming days.
Fenerbahce eyeing Lucas Vazquez
Fenerbahce are considering a move for Lucas Vazquez this summer, according to journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu. The Spanish utility man's contract with Real Madrid is due to expire at the end of this month.
However, Los Blancos have reached an agreement with Vazquez that will keep him on their payroll until the end of the FIFA Club World Cup. The 33-year-old is expected to leave the LaLiga giants as a free agent this summer, and isn't short of options either.
Fenerbahce have reportedly enquired about a possible move this summer, which will enable the player to play under Jose Mourinho for the first time in his career. Vazquez has registered over 400 appearances for Real Madrid to date, and is apparently wanted in the MLS and Saudi Arabia as well.
Rodrygo Goes wants to stay
Rodrygo Goes is determined to stay at Real Madrid, according to acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Brazilian forward's future has been the talk of the town this summer.
Rodrygo saw his importance diminish following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe last year. Recent reports have suggested that Arsenal are eager to prise him away form the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
The Gunners are looking to add more bite to their attack before the start of the new season. Mikel Arteta has apparently identified Rodrygo as the ideal candidate for the job.
However, Romano has now stated that the north London side are yet to initiate discussions with the LaLiga giants regarding the 24-year-old. A move, though, will only materialize if the player asks to leave, but Rodrygo has shown no such inclinations so far.
