Officially now it's here we go so the rumors that have been circulating are over. Just waiting for who else Madrid will bring in because they still need a lot of players to strengthen the back line. But if someone comes, there must be someone who leaves and so far the rumor about Rodrygo has surfaced to leave. I remember the regeneration process in forming Los Galacticos where there had to be players who were sacrificed.
It could be Rodrygo, but Real Madrid had to learn the hard way this season that backups are required. Signing TAA and then letting Rodrygo leave, I don't know if that is how it should play out. Rodrygo is not the best in my opinion, but not the worst either. I think regardless of signing TAA now, Real Madrid will be looking into an additional striker if they can.
They most likely need a few new players to become more competitive again. The comparison with Barcelona lies in the air and Barcelona is set up pretty well for next season. Lots of young players and a good mix with some older ones and they won#t have problems when it comes to transfers. Financially I don't know what their status quo is, but Barcelona is finally a great club again after they had a few not so good years.
