Real Madrid prodigy suffers injury relapse, faces two to three weeks out

Real Madrid has reportedly secured the long-term future of a promising academy player ("La Fabrica wonderkid") with a contract extending until 2028.

The club is also considering entering the transfer market to make another signing in a key position, while manager Xabi Alonso has identified a specific €100 million-rated Argentine star as a target to become the team's next midfield leader.

Real Madrid's performance at the FIFA Club World Cup ended poorly, including a heavy 0-4 defeat to PSG, which has cast a shadow over the future of one of their young players. Player ratings from the tournament highlighted performances like Gonzalo (rated 9) and Asencio (rated 3). Analysis pieces focused on takeaways from both the PSG loss and a 3-2 win against Borussia Dortmund, as well as talking points ahead of those matches.

Off the field, a major star at the club has yet to hear about a potential contract renewal. Manager Xabi Alonso is tasked with fixing a significant tactical problem within the team. Speculation suggests three players could potentially leave the club following the Club World Cup, while articles also discussed Alonso's best possible starting lineup for the tournament and three things fans can look forward to under his management.

An opinion piece argues that manager Carlo Ancelotti should end his "obsession" with player Tchouameni and instead turn to Raul Asencio in the team selection.
