Florentino Pérez is always looking for opportunities to strengthen the Real Madrid squad, including the Women's team. In the last few hours, Relevo has discovered that, during the winter transfer window, the president has secured Yasmim Ribeiro, an international full-back with Brazil. She has already passed the medical test and will sign a contract to wear the white jersey for the next few years.
Yasmim Ribeiro confirmed a few days ago that she would leave Corinthians after four years defending its colors. What nobody knew until now is that she would leave to go to Real Madrid, where she will arrive to reinforce the left side. The idea is that she will fight with Olga Carmona for the starting position. The latter is the player with the most minutes of the team in Liga F and had no competition until now.
Florentino Pérez has therefore settled a transfer at zero costto open the winter transfer market. The plan at Real Madrid is to continue making progress in women's soccer and the transfer of Yasmim Ribeiro is just another example. The idea is to start fighting for the Champions League in the coming years, something that is not at all easy.
Yasmim Ribeiro: Real Madrid's Transfer is Closed to Compete with Olga Carmona
What was clear at Real Madrid was that they needed a new transfer to fight with Olga Carmona for the position. She is one of the legends in the short history of the club. However, it is believed that she needs competition to raise her level even further. The idea is for Yasmim Ribeiro to fulfill that role, trying to raise the standards of the squad.
Yasmim Ribeiro is a silver medalist at the last Olympic Games. Now, at 28, she is taking the leap into Europe after many years of success in Brazil. She will do so to defend the colors of a Real Madrid team that will welcome her with open arms. She'll try to add competitiveness to a squad that is lacks it in Olga Carmona's position.
Olga Carmona is delighted with the arrival of Yasmim Ribeiro. Although she knows that she is coming to fight with her for a starting place, she believes that any competition is good for raising the level of the squad. In the end, the main beneficiary of all this will be Real Madrid.
