Meanwhile, Los Blancos are set to face competition from Liverpool for the signature of a Brazilian prodigy. Elsewhere, a former Athletic Bilbao striker is eager to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
On that note, here’s take a look at the key Real Madrid transfer stories as on September 28, 2022:
Real Madrid face Liverpool competition for Brazilian prodigy
Real Madrid are set to face competition from Liverpool for the signature of Joao Gomez, according to SPORT via Madrid Universal.
The Flamengo midfielder is highly rated at the Santiago Bernabeu, and the La Liga giants are plotting his arrival at the club. Los Blancos are considering a move for the 22-year-old this January but will not trigger his €60 million release clause.
However, the Reds also have their eyes on Gomez. Manager Jurgen Klopp missed out on Aurelien Tchouameni this summer and is ready to make amends next year. The German has his eyes on the Brazilian and is willing to move mountains to get his man. The Premier League giants are ready to activate his release clause to win the race for his signature.
Fernando Llorente ready to move to Santiago Bernabeu
Former Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente is ready to move to the Santiago Bernabeu should an opportunity present itself. The Spaniard has been linked with Real Madrid in the past, but a move has not materialised. The 37-year-old is currently without a club.
Speaking to Marca, Llorente said that he was never close to joining Los Blancos.
The Spaniard added that he would have liked to join the La Liga champions.
Llorente was asked if he would join the La Liga side for free to become an understudy to Karim Benzema. He replied in the affirmative, saying:
The Spaniard played for Eibar last season and is not contemplating hanging up his boots just yet.
Karim Benzema eager to return to action
Karim Benzema is determined to return to action against Osasuna on Sunday. The Frenchman has missed the last three games due to a muscle injury but has recently returned to full training.
Speaking after lifting three awards at the 2022 Marca Awards Gala - Pichichi, Di Stefano and Hyundai MVP - Benzema said that he’s ready to play on Sunday.
The Frenchman also revealed the advice he received from late Real Madrid legend Alfredo di Stefano.
Benzema has four goals from six appearances this season.
