According to the Ass newspaper, Real Madrid has clarified its comprehensive rejuvenation strategy for the team's lineup and will implement it in future recruitment.
Real Madrid is undergoing a complete youthful change. With the age of players such as Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba and Mendy, the team is rapidly developing towards a younger lineup. The club's strategy is very clear: to undergo a comprehensive update.
The average age of the team will drop to 25.3 years with Modric and Vasquez ending their brilliant careers after the Club World Cup and have signed Wysen (20) and Arnold (26). This is a full three years less than the average age of 28.2 years in the 2022/2023 season. The club hopes to lower that number further, bringing it below the age of 25.
Currently, Real Madrid's target list is full of young players under the age of 25. They are considering activating the buyback of Nico Pas (20 years old) and intend to introduce A Fee (22 years old). The internal passion is full of enthusiasm for Wilz (22) and is also seriously considering Stiller (24)'s choice to supplement the midfield.
These young players are all in an upcoming stage of explosion and the prices are not yet at an unbearable level. Although Wilz is already a star player, at a high price and close to Liverpool, his age makes the investment pay off in the coming years.
In addition, the club is looking forward to the growth of Guerrel (20) and Enderick (will turn 19 next month). Promoting Guerre's development is one of the main reasons why the club does not renew Modric's contract. Ancelotti once said: "I think Guerre will become an excellent midfielder and is very important to Real Madrid's future."
Alonso will also inspect a group of young people from the youth training camp this summer (such as Jacob Ramon, Joan Martinez, Diego Aguado, Fortea, etc.) to determine which players will enter the first team's plan.
In the summer of 2023, Benzema (35 years old), Hazard (32 years old) and Casemiro (31 years old) left one after another. Before the 2024/2025 season, Kroos, Nacho and Joselu (all 34 years old) also left the team. Modric (39) and Vasquez (33) will also say goodbye in the upcoming season. The club even has a coaching seat, from 65-year-old Ancelotti to 43-year-old Alonso, who almost still maintains his appearance as a player. Real Madrid has not used such a young head coach since Solari (42, 2018/2019 season). This choice was carefully considered by Real Madrid, as fresh blood will inject new vitality into the team.
