According to Daily Sports, Raul Asensio is now a veritable first-team player in Real Madrid. Previously, he had been in the reserve team and was wearing the No. 35 jersey, but this Monday, his identity changed. The official website of La Liga shows that he has transferred from Castia to Real Madrid and has become Real Madrid's latest signing player, and the jersey number remains to be finalized.
Raul Asensio's registration is only a routine procedure. His contract with Real Madrid will be until 2031, but his performance in the Club World Cup has aroused many doubts. Raul Asensio made some obvious mistakes, which triggered the thinking of Xavi Alonso. The player is likely to stay in Real Madrid, but it is not 100% certain yet.
Real Madrid's defense line has serious problems. Judging from the Club World Cup and last season's performance, it seems that only Wyson can do his role. The former Bournemouth player performed well, but the rest of the defense were slightly nervous. Arnold still needs to learn a lot, and it remains to be seen whether Kavajal can recover from serious injuries.
Whisen is the main player in the centre-back position, and his absence against Paris Saint-Germain proves this. Rudiger is facing physical condition problems, and Militon has just recovered from another major injury. In the left-back position, Real Madrid spent about 50 million euros to introduce A Fee, and Fran Garcia will compete with him.
As for Alaba, he performed very unreliable after his left knee injury and the two subsequent injuries, and Mendy's performance also failed to reach the expected level, both in terms of physical condition and professional quality. The obstacle is that neither player is willing to give up their generous contracts. Alaba's contract has one more year until 2026, while Mendy's contract expires in 2028.
