Florentino ‘de-Spanishizes’ Real Madrid

by


On January 6, 2019 Brahim Diaz was introduced as a player of the real Madrid after the payment of 17 million euros, plus seven in bonus, to Manchester City. Since then, 1,263 days ago, Florentino Perez He has not signed a Spanish footballer for the white team again.

Pérez went from leading the generation of ‘The galactics’ to bet on the policy of ‘Zidanes Y turkeys‘. Then he prioritized “the national product, for quality and for price & rdquor ;. and they arrived Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa, Isco, Asensio, Raúl Albiol, Granero, Pedro León, Canales, Diego López, Illarramendi, Vallejo, Kiko Casilla, Odriozola, Morata… But in recent seasons, Madrid has completely forgotten about the Spanish and sets its preferences outside when it comes to strengthening.

14 signings and 593 million

That’s why the player, whom he represents George Mendez, He considers going to a team that offers him more prominence. Milan Y Liverpool They have surveyed your situation.
