TA: Real Madrid believes that Gulaire can serve as a midfielder; if Saudi Arabia offers another offer, he is willing to sell Vinicius

Hupu August 21, TheAthleticUK Real Madrid team answered the fans' questions.

Will Gulaire become a midfielder? Will new players be introduced to replace Modric or Cross? No one in the midfield can pass the ball like both of them at the moment - Ben B.

Real Madrid's Valdebebas training ground staff and other club sources have questioned in the past whether putting Guillail in a deeper position means he will lose his potential in the offensive third division, where he has shown strength, as well as ability to assist and score.

But Alonso seemed to believe he could get these two points from Guillail.

Mastantuno's situation is different, and the club believes that he can be competent for almost any offensive position, but does not think he is the type of midfielder who can organize the offense from the backcourt.

Interestingly, a source who was able to get in touch with Real Madrid's report on the Argentine teenager's early scout (dating as early as the end of 2022) - like all of us mentioned, he asked to be anonymous in order to protect the relationship - told me that the report focused on his one-on-one single-handed ability and how he showed his personality on the court while controlling the game.

I don't think any players will be introduced this summer to directly replace Modric or Kroos, but at the moment I don't know how the club will react if there is a large transfer.

I'm talking mainly about the departure of players like Rodrigo (which is unlikely as it is currently) because the board's position is that Real Madrid has great midfielders who have invested a lot of money in these players - they want to continue to grow on that basis.

Given Vinicius' high salary requirements and low output, is there any board member considering selling him?

Last summer, when Saudi Arabia's representatives tentatively scrutinized Vinicius' signing, the Real Madrid board did not even want to negotiate. But as we recently explained, the situation is very different at the moment.

A few months ago, a person who is very familiar with the matter told me that if the Saudi professional league invites him to join again, he will not be surprised at all that the club is willing to sell the Brazilian player, because they always try to offer offers that both the club and the players are equally irresistible.

Even so, it is too early to discuss this issue in depth. The club hopes Vinicius can improve his performance, and although they are reluctant to pay the salary he requests, there is still time for the renewal negotiations to move forward.

They don't need to worry about whether to sell Vinicius now, or let him leave at a lower price in the summer of 2026, or wait until the contract expires a year later.
