Real Madrid transfer plan: No signings or departures planned on deadline day | OneFootball

Real Madrid are set for a quiet end to the summer transfer window, with El Larguero confirming that the club has no plans for either an incoming or outgoing transfer on deadline day.

That brings an anticlimactic conclusion to a window in which Madrid initially moved aggressively. 

The club completed several notable additions early on, but their activity slowed considerably once it became clear that further recruitment depended on players leaving the squad.

Hence, there will be no late scramble at the Bernabéu, with the current squad expected to remain intact.

Real Madrid’s transfer plans changed

Real Madrid were among the more active clubs at the start of the summer, bringing in Denzel Dumfries, Bernardo Silva, Carlos Espi, Yan Diomande and Marc Cucurella.

However, their approach subsequently became more cautious.

The club had identified further midfield options, including Manu Kone and Kees Smit, but creating space for additional arrivals required departures, which proved to be the stumbling block.

No member of the current squad was prepared to leave, regardless of their position in the pecking order. 

On that note, Eduardo Camavinga was one of the players whose future attracted attention, particularly because Madrid had been open to the possibility of a sale if the right proposal arrived.

But the player’s position never changed.

Anton Meana provided further clarity on the situation, saying, 

“I spoke with Camavinga’s immediate circle. I wouldn’t say they laughed, but they said there was never any possibility of him leaving all summer.”

Camavinga’s stance effectively removed one potential route for Real Madrid to add a new midfielder this summer. 

Since there were no meaningful negotiations for his departure, the midfielder was never genuinely close to leaving.

That also means speculation about a late approach from Manchester United or another Premier League club can now be put to one side.

The same applies to Raul Asencio.

The defender’s future had also become a talking point during the latter stages of the window, but he has no desire to leave Real Madrid either. 

So, with neither player pushing for an exit, the club has little reason to make a late change.
