The young core of 7 are so guys (Jude, Vini, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga, Diaz, and Tchouameni) are really close and are why they are playing so well this season.

If you go look at transfermarket or similar sites, it's insane how much of the top 10 or so most valuable players are on Real, and all of them other than Bellingham were not super-expensive acquisitions.

Endrick looks to be the next in line.

THANK YOU EDEN HAZARD, YOU WORTHLESS FAT frick.

Also I have to note that Modric and Kroos being such legends has helped tremendously in terms of transitions and being leaders/mentors (even when not playing). I think both are liekly gone, though. Need to finally commit to Fede and Camavinga in the midfield and not using them as wide players.

Camavinga


I have a feeling he'll leave if they keep making him play leftback.

Definitely.

When I heard the Mbappe news, I thought their front portion would be loaded with Mbappe up front, Vini/Rodrygo on the wings, Bellingham as a 10, with Fede/Camavinga at mid behind Bellingham (either a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1). That's kind of what they used to do with Casemerio/Kroos/Modric in the midfield.

Case = Camavinga
Kroos = Valverde
Modric = Bellingham

They have some work to do in the back 4 (esp at LB but Carvijal will get too old one day), but that 6 in the midfield and up front would be scary.

The Tifo TikTok channel, which puts out absolutely amazing content, did a video about this and how Mbappe likes to start on the wings and dribble in ala Ronaldo. The way Real is currently set up that means Vini or Rodrygo goes to the bench or Mbappe plays a 9. Issue becomes Jude has been playing as essentially a false 9 and killing it.

If Real Madrid lands Alphonso Davies. That would be amazing.
