Vinicius is spending a happy time at Real. The 22-year-old winger is considered the present and future of “Los Blancos”. Last season, this player contributed 22 goals and 20 assists in 52 appearances in all competitions, helping the Bernabeu team win La Liga and the Champions League.
This season, Vini has made 41 appearances in all competitions, scoring 19 goals and providing 11 assists. Real is still playing well in the Champions League when it reaches the quarter-finals and is about to face Chelsea. However, in La Liga, the Royal Spanish Club performed worse than last season when it was second in the rankings.
The leading team, Barcelona, has just widened the gap with Real to 15 points when beating Elche 4-0 at dawn this morning (2/4) in round 27 of La Liga. Tonight, “Los Blancos” has the opportunity to shorten the gap with the Catalunya Giants when they will face Real Valladolid at home.

Since quite a few seasons ago, Barcelona has been trying to get Jose Gaya, a left back who is presently playing for Valencia, with the intention of making him a viable long-term answer at left back. The performances of Jordi Alba, in addition to the high price tag linked to the Spanish player, were the cause of the deal not being completed, and they were both factors.
On the other hand, given that Alba’s current contract would run out in 2024, this season would have been the best time for Barcelona to make a bid for Gaya if they wanted to take advantage of the possibility.
Jordi Alba is no longer the starting left defense for Barcelona after an amazing performance by Alejandro Balde during the preseason. As a result, Jordi Alba has been demoted to the bench. Alejandro Balde, who sprang out of nowhere to take Jordi Alba’s position, is currently playing in that team’s starting lineup.
Gaya is in luck because Real Madrid is looking to add a left back during the summer transfer window in order to shore up a weak spot in their defense. According to Mundo Deportivo, there has been a significant uptick in the level of support within the club for the candidacy of the captain of Valencia’s football team.
As a result of the Madrid club’s displeasure with Ferland Mendy, the club is looking into the possibility of replacing Mendy with Gaya. The Frenchman’s performance has not been up to the expectations that were placed on him, and it is probable that he will be moved to another team over the summer.
Real Madrid is also keeping tabs on Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, although the Spanish club is well aware that it will be very challenging to recruit him away from Bavaria. Despite this, Real Madrid is continuing to monitor his situation. Because there are not many other possibilities now available on the market, it is probable that Madrid may choose Gaya as their option. This is the case because of the lack of competition.
Because of Valencia’s current position in the league, the Spanish player will also be made available throughout the summer at a price that is significantly lower than what was originally agreed upon. The Spanish giants are now in the 18th position in La Liga, and if they are demoted, they may be obliged to sell some of its precious assets at a lower price. If this occurs, the club will be in a precarious financial situation.
In spite of the fact that Madrid has not yet found a solution to their problems at left back, the club plans to make an effort to improve their right back position. Even though it is expected that Daniel Carvajal will continue to be a member of the team, there is a chance that he may be overlooked in the selection process in favor of other players like Jeremie Frimpong and Reece James.
In any case, given that there are still more than two months until the beginning of the transfer season, Real Madrid will continue to scour the market in the hopes of finding outstanding players who are capable of filling all of their open positions.
