Manchester United let go, he is Real Madrid s new iron gate on the left

Last season, Real Madrid suffered repeated defeats on all fronts, largely because the team's full-back quality was really bad: left-back Fran Garcia and Mendy were not good enough, Carvajal on the right suffered a serious injury, Vazquez was named by Unlimited, in order to cover the team's lower limit, Ancelotti often had to play fullback...

So, this summer, Arnold became Real Madrid's first move, but such reinforcement was obviously not enough: against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid was beaten up by the new Champions League champion in the first half, and suffered a 0-4 defeat in the whole game. All signs show that Alonso's team has a long way to go before the reconstruction is successful.

After the end of the Club World Cup schedule, Real Madrid's strengthening is of course still: Modric's departure has become an established fact, AC Milan has become his next home, and Real Madrid will most likely listen to other teams' offers for Rodrigo.

In terms of signing, Real Madrid has also accelerated its efficiency in buying players. Before the Club World Cup, they had already contacted Benfica full-back Alvaro Fernandez, but because the opponent's asking price was too high, Real Madrid also planned to wait and see in the summer window. However, the defeat of Paris Saint-Germain still pushed Real Madrid. Florentino, who knew that the reconstruction work was a long way to go, saw the situation clearly and started the buying and buying mode again.

Of course, although Benfica has long been a black store, Benfica's asking price is actually not high in the transfer of A-fee, after all, the ownership structure of players is still quite complicated. According to previous reports from Western media, after Manchester United joined Benfica, the Red Devils still have the right to repurchase A-fee 18 million euros. Even if this authority is not exercised, if the player joins other teams through transfer, Manchester United can still get a guaranteed 20% transfer fee share. Adding up these factors, the transfer fee of A-fee will naturally not be too low.

However, during the specific negotiation process, Real Madrid did not stop fighting for its own interests. It is reported that the Galaxy Battleship has stopped bargaining and decided to pay the transfer fee at the price of the player's termination fee. As compensation, Castia's left-back Obrador will transfer to Benfica at a low price. However, in the transfer of A-fee, Real Madrid still hopes to complete the transfer through installments. If the first transfer fee can be reduced to less than 15 million euros, the Galaxy Battleships' budget in the summer window will not cost too much, which allows them to continue to chase the core of the midfield, rotation of the center, and substitutes in the center position.

As Real Madrid's new choice on the left, excellent physical confrontation and straight-up and down-to-back ability are the most outstanding things about A Fei. His running ability allows him to complete the offensive and defensive coverage of the entire left, and his physical fitness can also allow him to cover the lower limit on the offensive and defensive end.

The only problem may be the players' poor foul control. In the past season, AF has scored 4 goals and assisted 5 times in various competitions, but has accumulated 20 yellow cards. It is a real big player. Considering that he has many matches with Barcelona next season, facing Yamal on the same side, Real Madrid's new players will inevitably face considerable defensive pressure.
