Player Targeted by Real Madrid Prepared to Join Inter in €32 Million Transfer

Real Madrid’s Reinforcement Woes Intensify Amidst Injury Woes

Real Madrid finds themselves grappling with a challenging situation as they navigate a scarcity of squad depth across multiple positions on the field, further exacerbated by a mounting injury roster. The predicament they currently face isn’t one the club had envisioned. Alarmingly for their ardent supporters, signs point towards a lack of intentions to bolster their ranks any further during this summer transfer window.

The club has indeed made acquisitions in the form of Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, and Fran Garcia, while Joselu and Kepa Arrizabalaga have joined on season-long loan arrangements. However, the wisdom of this might be questioned as the grueling season progresses, particularly when fatigue and fitness setbacks begin to make their presence felt in the latter part of the campaign.

A Player’s Pursuit Abandoned

A long-standing target for Real Madrid, Benjamin Pavard of Bayern Munich, has eluded their grasp. The latest developments, relayed by Fabrizio Romano‘s tweet, reveal that Pavard’s move to Inter is well underway. Bayern Munich’s consent has paved the way for a €30 million transfer, enriched by €2 million in potential add-ons.

Missed Opportunity for Real Madrid

Pavard’s potential arrival could have fortified Real Madrid’s roster. His versatility to excel as both a right-back and a center-back would have addressed two areas of potential vulnerability. The absence of Eder Militao, facing a possible season-ending injury due to an ACL tear sustained in the inaugural match, underscores the urgency for reinforcements. Simultaneously, the declining performance of Dani Carvajal compared to his peak has been evident.

Reasons Behind the Justification

The €32 million valuation assigned to Pavard’s move appears rational, considering his achievements. As a World Cup winner with France and a triumphant campaign in the UEFA Champions League with Bayern Munich, Pavard has proven his mettle. At 27 years old, he’s well within his prime, a potential asset that could have shored up Real Madrid’s defense significantly.
