Real Madrid ‘not convinced’ by any midfield options on the transfer market
Having already made most of the signings they require for the upcoming season, Real Madrid are now focused on departures in the second half of the transfer window.
There are, however, certain positions regarding which the club are alert on the transfer market, looking for a potential signing that can improve the squad.
The midfield, on that front, remains a priority after Rodri’s decision to join Barcelona. After all, it has been known for a long time now that Los Blancos lack a controlling and creative presence in the middle of the park.
No quality option to sign
As conveyed by Diario AS in a recent report, Real Madrid are currently not convinced by any option available on the transfer market. They do not see a single profile available that would genuinely improve the team.

The club have not closed the door to a new signing, but they continue to watch the market in silence without any desperation for a transfer.
The management and administration are certain that the current midfield will be competitive and that a signing is not absolutely required. If a suitable profile pops up, they will go for the kill.
Three profiles of interest
While Los Blancos are indeed of the opinion that there is no profile that can improve the squad, they have maintained a couple of options on their radar.

The three players they are monitoring on that front are Kees Smit, Adam Wharton and Ayyoub Bouaddi, although none of the options appears conducive at this point.
While Bouaddi is nearing a move to Manchester City, Wharton’s price tag is a serious deterrent given how much Real Madrid have spent this summer. Smit, meanwhile, lacks the required experience and is not as seasoned an option.
It thus remains to be seen what Real Madrid decide in the coming weeks regarding the midfield, and it will heavily depend on what Jose Mourinho sees in preseason.
