A major decision is taking shape at Real Madrid, and it could have significant repercussions on the upcoming summer transfer window.
Sticking to its usual approach, Real Madrid has remained inactive during the winter transfer window for the seventh consecutive year. No reinforcements have come to bolster the squad, despite a defense ravaged by injuries, a midfield lacking creativity, and inconsistent performances in La Liga and Europe. This strategy, which cost the club dearly last season, is frustrating the fans.
As a decisive summer approaches, some voices within the club are calling for the creation of a crucial position: that of sporting director. According to sources cited by Rodra on ESPN, appointing an experienced profile to this role could help fix several structural flaws, particularly in managing the transfer window and planning the squad.
A sporting director to change everything?
The creation of this position would allow the club to anticipate the team’s needs, secure young talents like Endrick or Nico Paz before they explode elsewhere, and, most importantly, better coordinate sporting decisions between the coach and management.
The urgency is even more palpable as Real Madrid missed several opportunities in January, from Rúben Neves to Bruno Fernandes, while its rivals strengthened their squads. The lack of response to injuries and tactical shortcomings has fueled concerns about the future of the group.
The upcoming summer transfer window could mark a major turning point: not only to address the squad’s deficiencies but also to initiate a historic transformation in the club’s organization with the potential arrival of a sporting director. After months of stagnation, Real Madrid seems ready to embark on a true revolution.
