Mauricio Pochettino has gained strength to become the next coach of Real Madrid. Because Thomas Tuchel has been ruled out after joining Bayern Munich, while José Mourinho and Raúl González Blanco have become ‘plan B’. Especially curious is the case of the current Castilla coach, whom many considered the main candidate, but everything indicates that Florentino Pérez would have changed his mind.
Instead, the Argentine remains very well positioned on the agenda, and has had some meetings with the president. He has transmitted the requests that he has, and for example he wants a series of players who do not contribute anything to the squad to leave, such as Álvaro Odriozola, Ferland Mendy, Eden Hazard, Jesús Vallejo, Mariano Díaz, Lucas Vázquez or Marco Asensio. In addition, He has requested five non-negotiable signings, starting with Denzel Dumfries.
For the former coach of Paris Saint-Germain, RCD Espanyol, Southampton or Tottenham Hotpur, he is the best possible candidate to ‘retire’ Dani Carvajal, who is also on his blacklist. For the left wing, he has put Alphonso Davies on the table, which is also to his complete liking, despite the fact that he knows that the return of Fran García from Rayo Vallecano is totally closed.
Continuing with the midfield, he would love to have Declan Rice at his command. Aurelien Tchouameni is being a resounding failure at the Santiago Bernabéu, and no matter how much confidence there is in Eduardo Camavinga, Pochettino believes that the West Ham United captain is an opportunity that they cannot miss, taking advantage of the fact that he only has a contract until 2024, and You want a change of scenery in summer.
He has also asked Jude Bellingham, who is a priority target for Madridalthough they are trying to lower the cost of 150 million euros that it would mean to remove him from Borussia Dortmund.
Harry Kane, Pochettino’s great obsession
Although Pochettino’s great obsession would be to be able to direct Harry Kane again. He knows him perfectly, and maintains an excellent relationship with the ‘spur’ star. He sees in him a magnificent replacement for Karim Benzema, and believes that Florentino Pérez could get him out of London for a reasonable amount, when his relationship ends in 12 months.
With this reconstruction, he has no doubt that Madrid would become an even more fearsome and respected team. Will they accept all his demands?
