As we all know, Real Madrid is holding back a big move, and they will strengthen various positions in 2024. In the right wing position, Carvajal is getting older and has been suffering from injuries all year round. Vazquez's contract is about to expire, so reinforcements at this position are imperative. Leverkusen's Frimpong has always been the target of Real Madrid's investigation, but he is not the only candidate. Real Madrid made a mistake and made fans worried. If you are reluctant to spend money, the disaster will be endless!
This is an indisputable fact that both Carvajal and Vazquez will leave Real Madrid in a short time. Although they are meritorious players, Florentino has to take a heavy blow for the future of the club. The departure of Carvajal and Vazquez will eventually become a fact. The right wing has always been Real Madrid's weakest link. Carvajal has been in charge for so many years, and Real Madrid is not willing to buy a pure substitute. Vázquez was moved to this position and he did not perform the task well.
Originally, Real Madrid was very fond of Leverkusen's Frimpong, and the two sides were closely linked. Frimpong has had a phenomenal performance this season. Although he is a full-back, he has played very gorgeous statistics. In 20 games so far this season, Frimpong has scored 6 goals and contributed 8 assists, scoring 14 goals of his own. Currently, Frimpong's worth has risen to 50 million euros, but the player has a 40 million liquidated damages clause. Obviously, this price is difficult to reach Real Madrid.
According to the Western media "Defensacentral", Real Madrid intends to replace Frimpong with 20-year-old Sevilla defender Juanlu Sanchez. This season, Sanchez returned to Sevilla on loan and immediately confirmed his status, but he did not contribute very good data and has only recorded 3 assists so far. In the Champions League group match against Arsenal, Sanchez was passed 8 times in a single game, setting an embarrassing record. Currently, Sanchez is worth 3 million euros, but the player's liquidated damages are as high as 25 million.
On the surface, Sanchez is younger and cheaper, but in fact it is a high-risk investment. In terms of statistics, Frimpong and Sanchez's ball-making ratio is 14-3, and the gap between the two is huge. If the transaction is based on liquidated damages, then Frimpong is only 15 million euros higher than Sanchez. Does Real Madrid really intend to give up Frimpong because of 15 million euros? It is a painful lesson that Real Madrid has been injured in this position. The last time they bought Odriozola, they lost everything.
There is no need to consider it at all. Real Madrid is definitely the right choice to hit Frimpong, and Sanchez is definitely not the right candidate. Because in this position, Real Madrid want plug and play, they don't have time for players to adapt or give players enough time to improve. Furthermore, Rodrigo needs an offensive player to cooperate on the right wing, and Frimpong happens to be better at offense than defense. Of course, Real Madrid needs to have higher requirements for Frimpong, and they must actively participate in defense while attacking.
