Real Madrid is shaking up the market. It is evident. The need of the white team in the face of the casualties it suffers due to injuries (three of its defenders suffer the rigors of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in one of their knees), acts as an alarm for players and agents to be activated in search of a destination. It all started with Carvajal's injury, but Militao's has set the machinery in motion for all kinds of offers. They say 100, it could be 200 if all the calls and recommendations received were heeded, but one of those moves has been different from all the others. We are talking about Sergio Ramos, who is waiting to find a destination while he continues to work hard, as we have seen.

Real Madrid's leaders have been very clear on the different occasions when the name of the former captain has been linked with a possible return and now nothing has changed. MARCA already reported days ago, before the call in question revealed by El Chiringuito de Jugones, that there was no place for Ramos in the current Real Madrid squad. It is a closed story or at least that is what they say from Valdebebas and everything indicates that this is the case, that there is no room for a second part. Not even the plea of Guti asking for the signing of his former teammate has served as extra motivation for the operation to be studied.

A special case that repeats over time

It is clear that Ramos is not just another player in that hundred or so proposals received and that his willingness is to help at a delicate moment for Real Madrid because of the injuries, but his possible return is not an option, despite the recognition of the good work done by the defender at the club. It has been more than three years away from the Madrid club.

On his return as a Sevilla player last season, he received the affection of the Bernabeu and the truth is that in every moment of trouble, a certain sector of Madrid fans remember the defender, but the reality of those in charge is different. Already in the summer of 2023 and after the delay in finding a team after leaving PSG, voices were again raised in favour of his return, but the call was not officially supported.

Hermoso, Tah, Gila... and Laporte

Of those who have been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent days, two former players emerge as Mario Hermoso and Mario Gila. Hermoso is currently at Atletico Madrid and Gila is at Lazio. Hermoso, now injured, has not started the season as a starter, just the opposite of what happens to Gila, who since he recovered from a physical problem, plays everything. Real Madrid do not have a buy-back option, but they do have a first refusal option and a percentage of a sale. There is a lot of noise around Hermosoand information about hisfuture, with even a statement from the former youth player about his possible return to Spanish football.

Tah, central del Bayer Leverkusen y la seleccion aleman, has been offered, but his arrival has not been considered, nor has any move been made around his signing. He is in the process of joining Bayern Munich, something that the leaders of the team wants to prevent. His contract expires on June 30 and last summer they did not accept his transfer to the Bundesliga leaders, a destination he could reach in June without any money going into the coffers of the current Bundesliga champions.

As for Laporte, his play is valued, but there is still no movement on his signing. He is liked, but for the moment the strategy put in place by Real Madrid in the last five years clashes with the reality of a much more complicated operation and expensive than they want to make it seem. Al Nassr is not going to give away the center-back to anyone, let alone one of its references and great bets in its attempt to fight for the Saudi championship.

Obviously you don't look down on teams like Real MadridAymeric Laporte

The player, while always respecting his current club, would not turn his back on possible interest from Real Madrid. He made it clear on Cadena Ser this week. From Valdebebas, it is said that last summer there was no talk with the player, something that Laporte himself confessed. In any case, January is approaching and the only certain thing is that the first solution to the central defender issue is at home and his name is Raul Asencio.

As has been the case in recent transfer windows, the club's directors

They try to stopeverything that moves or at least not be used to achieve renewals or transfers to other teams. They shy away from rumours and try at all times not to give rise to speculation. They know it is impossible, but that is why they try to select even the calls received.
