Florentino Pérez isn't wasting time and is planning the squad for Real Madrid for the next season. Many changes are expected, to the point that 'Cadena SER' has put up to six possible signings on the table. What the president wants is "to Spanishize" the squad, trying to be a more recognizable team for the country's fans.
Florentino Pérez, 6 Spanish Signings for Real Madrid
Everything revolves around the figure of Dean Huijsen, the main target to strengthen the center of the defense. The Spain international is liked a lot and has a price of about 60M euros. It is not necessary to negotiate with Bournemouth, which is asking for what his release clause costs. He is liked, but no crazy actions will be taken, as the operation is still in a very embryonic stage.
The mentioned information points out that Florentino Pérez "has a plan to Spanishize" Real Madrid over the coming seasons. What the president wants is "to be a reference also in the Spanish national team" and that's why he has set his sights on several players from the country.
Dean Huijsen isn't the only one liked at Real Madrid. A clear target for next summer is Miguel Gutiérrez, who could return from Girona for only 8M euros. There are also two names on the table to strengthen the midfield position, with the possibilities of Rodri (Manchester City) or Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) being considered.
In Spain, there is another starter from the National Team who is liked a lot: Nico Williams. However, his possible arrival would depend on some departures that would have to happen, such as Vinícius's. He maintains his 60M clause, and Real Madrid could pay it without any problem and without causing a fuss.
The Future Courtois Is in Spain: Interests Real Madrid
Finally, where Florentino Pérez is preparing a generational change is in the goalkeeping position for Real Madrid. Thibaut Courtois will turn 35 in the coming months and it is considered key to have his future replacement secured at a good price.
There is a long list of goalkeepers who interest Florentino Pérez a lot, but one leads this list: Joan García. He plays for Espanyol and, although the season isn't going well for the "pericos," it could be even worse if they didn't have the Catalan.
He is 23 years old, will turn 24 a few days before Courtois, and is considered a strategic signing to strengthen the goalkeeping position at Bernabéu. The relations with Espanyol are fantastic, and no situation is intended to be forced, to the point that the idea is to reach an agreement. Negotiations have started to finalize the incorporation of Joan García for the next season, where the plan is clear: to lower the 30M of his release clause.
