Real Madrid have been on a bit of a streak recently, showing interest and working in silence for so many good deals in the market, slowly addressing every single need on their already incredible roster. We obviously have Kylian Mbappe's imminent transfer to Real Madrid, which addresses the goalscorer's need. They've been working on Alphonso Davies, which is also an important position that needs reinforcement. They have established concrete interest in Leny Yoro, one of the best young centre-backs in the game. Now, they are set to reignite interest in a player they used to be very interested in. First reported by Matteo Moretto of Relevo, then by Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have an interest in signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. No talks have been held yet, but they're said to be j...

Real Madrid have a couple of really enticing and crucial games coming up against Manchester City in the Champions League in April. They've had their fair share of injuries this season -- a lot of them, actually -- particularly in the defense. Real Madrid have been forced to play Aurelien Tchouameni as a centre-back for many games this season, with even Dani Carvajal contributing as a central defender on a few occasions. Injuries to Eder Militao and David Alaba have caused an injury crisis. The good thing is that Militao is finally close to a return to first-team action.

Real Madrid’s injury list went from bad to worse this week when news broke that both David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois apparently suffered major injury setbacks.

Alaba tore his ACL in his left knee in Real Madrid’s 4-1 La Liga win versus Villarreal last December. It was always a longshot that he would return to the side this season, but now it seems very possible.  According to Miguel Ángel Díaz of COPE Radio in Madrid, Alaba’s recovery from his ACL injury has not gone well. The Real Madrid left back reportedly flew to Austria this week to receive special treatment from world-renowned doctor Christian Fink on his left knee.  David Alaba is becoming injury-prone Rea...

After much speculation, it’s been confirmed that Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz has decided to play for Morocco after receiving little interest from the Spanish Federation to play for the national team. A lot has been made about his absence and the fact that neither the national team manager nor anyone from the federation had ever spoken to him about the possibility of playing for the national team. While Luis de la Fuente is perfectly within his right to pick whoever he wants, his behavior with Brahim has been different to other players. He publicly stated that he only selects the players and doesn’t speak to them about whether they will be picked or not. Yet it’s also been reported by media outlets close to the federation that he spoke to several players to either inform them of th...
