There has been a lot of head scratching from Real Madrid fans this summer.
Because, despite Los Blancos ending the season empty handed, they haven’t yet made their now customary marquee summer signing.
They wait for news of David de Gea and they have strengthened that area of the squad with the capture of Kiko Casilla.
Danilo has been brought in at right back and will grow into the side over time.
But we still expect Rafa Benitez to make one other big capture before the window closes.
Reports over the weekend in England suggest that Real Madrid will make a move for the brilliant midfielder William Carvalho.
Real Madrid ‘lining up transfer move for Arsenal target William Carvalho’
The Portuguese international has grown into a fine physical specimen and, at 23, seems ripe for a move to one of the biggest clubs in the world.
But it’s not just his power that enthuses.
Carvalho is an imperious footballer with superb passing ability and a great engine.
His style of play very much reminds us of Yaya Toure.
Carvalho could become a complete midfielder. He’s a great anchor man but he is also wonderful going forward.
We think that he would take time to grow into the Real Madrid team but could eventually take the place of Luka Modric.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action.
Real Madrid fans: a wise move?
