Before getting to the transfers that took place on the last day relating to Real Madrid, I must add that few hours ago Oezil said that Real Madrid were on the level of Barcelona especially after their result against Barcelona in Spanish SuperCup which Real Madrid lost unfortunately.
So these transfers do not really affect Real Madrid squad in any way as all the players who have left were surplus to the requirements and were told so by Jose Mourinho well in advance therefore I do not think they will be returning to Real Madrid next season.
First one to go on loan to Roma as Gago. Gago had been linked with Roma for a long time now relatively speaking, Real Madrid and Roma could not come to an agreement so hence decided to make a loan deal. Good for Gago, his place in Real Madrid squad were numbered the day Lassana Diarra was signed.
Gago will be gone for a year long loan to Roma who should rather consider themselves lucky that a player of Gago’s quality has signed for them and that too on loan.
Reports had it that there was also the choice of buying Gago for 6 million euros but Roma did not take that as they did not have that much time to evaluate such offer. Real Madrid definitely need to cut their squad a bit short because it is a big too big right now.
Second player to leave and that too on a year long loan was Drenthe. He has gone to Everton of all the clubs. Everton just sold their best player in Mikel Arteta to Arsenal and hence wanted some fresh young talent. Drenthe has got talent but he is a bit too inconsistent.
Drenthe was expected to go to Galatasaray but then went to Everton in another twist. Drenthe had a good start to his Real Madrid career and to his Hercules career as well but then a series of inconsistent performances along with some wage disputes with Hercules saw him leaving La Liga for EPL.
Third player to go was Pedro Leon. Already been told by Jose Mourinho to be a surplus to the requirements, he basically had no option but to leave Real Madrid albeit on loan. He will not be coming back to Real Madrid’s starting line up unless he scored like 35-40 goals this season alone. He had a spat with Mourinho so for the most part, his Real Madrid career is over.
Getafe will have an option to buy him at the end of the season and I think they will. They sold him to Real Madrid for around 10 million euros and got him back for free for one season. They will probably pay around 4 million for him if Getafe do decide to buy him, so a straight 6 million euro profit, not bad if you ask me. Real Madrid again got screwed in the transfer market.
Don’t be surprised if they end up selling Pedro Leon to Real Madrid again for 10 million and then back for 4 million. What the heck are Real Madrid transfer department people doing? I am sure you all know this is not the first time or even the 100nth time Real Madrid have bought a sold a player for half the initial price inside the first 3 years of the player’s debut for Real Madrid.
