Real Madrid puts 5 players who «starred in World Cup» on its list of signings

Ronaldo Nazario, Ozil, Khamis, Courtois … and others chosen by Real Madrid from among everyone in the World Cup that is played every four years.

The White Club, like all the big clubs, is watching the biggest football competition on the face of the planet in search of gold, and the Qatar World Cup 2022 is certainly no exception.

In addition, the sports administration in the White Club will have additional time this time to review decisions carefully before making them, as Real Madrid will wait for the summer market to conclude the desired deals, because it is not used to doing so in the winter market, which is around the corner after the World Cup.

Real Madrid has its eye on 5 players who shone in the World Cup

Bellingham (19 years old, England, Borussia Dortmund)

The English midfielder is Real Madrid’s big bet for the summer of 2023. AS already reported in March that Bellingham is Real Madrid’s favorite to continue revamping the midfield that started with Camavinga and continued with Tchoamene.

The Dortmund midfielder won’t come cheap (in Germany they say his price is a minimum of €150m) and Liverpool will be pressing hard for his services after his brilliance for Dortmund and England as well at the World Cup.

Enzo Fernandez (21 years old, Argentina, Benfica)

Bellingham alternative. Enzo Fernandez started the World Cup as a shock and will leave it as an inspiration (one goal and one assist, for now). In his first season in Europe, he booked himself a place in the Argentina squad in Qatar. He is a complete midfielder.

Benfica invested 12 million euros to get him out of River Plate and they will soon double their investment. The Portuguese newspaper, Ogogo, confirms that Real Madrid has already contacted its agent to test the waters.

Benfica is a tough negotiator, they set a €120m clause and will not let Enzo, as the Portuguese media suggest, for less than €80m or €90m.

Jusko Guardiol (20 years old, Croatia, RB Leipzig)

He is, to many, the heart of the World Cup defence. His growth comes from afar. Chelsea were close to signing him for €90m in the summer, just a year after Leipzig bought him €18.8m from Dinamo Zagreb.

Marjan Cisic, his agent, commented on the uproar his client is generating in Qatar, saying: “Regarding a possible transfer in the summer of 2023, we are not in a hurry and I want to make it clear that there is no prior agreement with any club.”

Gazzetta dello Sport put Real Madrid on the list of bidders. Gvardiol at the World Cup will receive many offers. Of course, snatching him away from Leipzig would require financial madness.

Cody Jakpo (23 years old, Netherlands, Eindhoven)

Left wing with PSV, starred with the Netherlands in the Qatar World Cup. Cody Jakbo started the World Series on motorcycle, with three goals in the first three games, but went from more to less.

The 189-centimetre winger is a fast and cunning striker in small spaces, where he shows his best features in the penalty area: he scored (13 goals) and made (17 assists) with PSV this season, and he will soon leave the Netherlands.

In England they say his Manchester United signing is next, but The Telegraph adds Real Madrid to the race. Its starting price? About 55 million euros.

Gonzalo Ramos (21 years old, Portugal, Benfica)

“I would like to see Gonzalo Ramos as a replacement for Benzema at Real Madrid. For me, this is the perfect replacement and he will take over in the future.” These were the words of Joao Nuno Fonseca, coach of the Benfica player in the lower categories, in this way in response to the information that put the striker in the orbit of the white club, in a chat with journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

He added, “He is a modern 9 striker, and he is a player who gives the coach tactically many options, because he grew up as an attacking midfielder.”

Gonzalo Ramos who took center stage with his magnificent hat-trick against Switzerland in the World Cup Round of 16. He responds to the player profile using the World Cup as a starting point, confirming his good numbers with Benfica (14 goals and 6 assists) during the season.

He has a market value of €24m in the transfer market, but it’s clear Benfica are already wringing their hands by the time the bid starts to come in.
