A lot of external noise about Real Madrid's transfer policy is nothing new, however the reality within Valdebebas is completely different.

The world of constant rumors and the one of making decisions with logic and the reality of the club's finances don't coexist,

The case of Eden Hazard is particularly interesting, with the club eager to move him on, however the player has already made it clear that he intends to honor his contract.

With this agreement due to run until 30 June 2024, the club is not going to take any position of force because it has no leverage.

The reality of not being able to ship such a high earner away from the club has limited their budget.

There has even been talk of six or seven different coaches, when there is still one with a contract in force for next season, the same one who has won the five major leagues and a few Champions League titles.

A multitude of players have passed through the window, but the idea maintained by the club, supported by the numbers and the idea of not endangering the stability of the club, is to remain calm and to make at most, one signing of importance to the first-team. The name of that player is Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid are not going to repeat the case of Luka Jovic, which saw Los Blancos sign a player they didn't consider elite because they couldn't secure their first-choice. It will not happen again.

The club have already signed a striker, but for the 2024-25 season. It is Endrick and only a sudden change involving Erling Haaland's happiness in Manchester could make the signing of the Norwegian possible, but nothing on that front can occur before the summer of 2024.

Real Madrid's plan for the summer transfer window is clear: sign a star who can make an immediate difference or nobody at all.

Benzema, Rodrygo... and Alvaro to the first team

Until then, the accounts at Valdebebas are clear. The continuity of Karim Benzema is a certainty, plus the contribution of Rodrygo as a center-forward, an option that even Brazil are already using.

In addition, Alvaro will become a first-team player. The circumstances would change completely if the French striker, captain of the ship, decides not to stay at Real Madrid and listen to the powerful offer he has from Saudi Arabian football.

As for Kylian Mbappe, nothing has changed. There is no relationship between Real Madrid and PSG, and Madrid officials are clear that they will never negotiate in the current circumstances.

There is no dialogue with Qatar and there will be none. What's more, they think that if Mbappe really wants to leave Paris this summer, that would be news to Real Madrid.

The messages and movements from the striker's entourage of course reach Valdebebas, but they do not consider them credible.

As for the renewals, Nacho, Toni Kroos, Marco Asensio and Benzema have received the nod of continuity, which has not yet reached either Luka Modric or Dani Ceballos, a circumstance that causes the Croatian a good deal of concern, although he is going to wait until the last minute because he wants to finish his career in white.

This isn't so much the case for Ceballos. Mariano Diaz has no news either, but his situation has been clear for some time.

For some seasons now, the club has been in charge of the renewal territory, just like Sergio Ramos.

On this occasion, at Valdebebas, they are confident that in the end they will end up extending the contracts of most of these players, although not all of them.

While Fran Garcia has a clear plan to return to his former home, Brahim Diaz could be next if he finally decides to return to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

They will be joined by Alvaro and a few more from Castilla, with Sergio Arribas the most likely candidate, but it is not out of the question that he will do a 'Carvajal' and leave to a top-division team in Europe for first-team football before he returns to the Spanish giants.

Andriy Lunin, who is under contract, seems to want to be a first-team regular away from the Spanish capital.

The rest of the possible arrivals will depend to some extent on the possible gaps left by Vallejo, Alvaro Odriozola and Hazard, who are not being considered as useful but are under contract.

As far as Ancelotti is concerned, nothing has changed because nothing has been decided. It is still early days and the season is still ongoing.

Brazil are still waiting but the Italian's priority is to stay at Real Madrid, but everyone knows that this only depends on the final results of the season.

Of course, the club has not reached out to as many coaches as those in the world of speculation have suggested.
