Expert opinion

ESPN’s Madrid correspondent Alex Kirkland looks at the possibility of Moises Caicedo landing for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s rebuilding in the summer – signing three defenders in Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huysen and Alvaro Carreras, plus a wide striker in Franco Mastantono – did not include a central midfielder, which should have been at the top of the list for many fans and pundits.

So far this season, Xabi Alonso has tended to opt for Aurelien Chouamini, Fede Valverde and Arda Guler as a midfield trio, with Jude Bellingham back in the picture after recovering from shoulder surgery. The team have played well for the most part, but in the two biggest games of Alonso’s tenure so far – the Club World Cup semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain and the derby against Atletico – they have fallen short, and it is hard to escape the feeling that despite the qualities of Chouamini, Valverde and others, they are still missing a truly dominant midfielder.

Is Caicedo that player? The contract until 2031 is clearly an issue. Madrid only pay significant transfer fees for elite players, such as Bellingham, and the length of the contract means a free transfer would be a remote possibility. Here in Madrid, there have been no reports yet that Caicedo is a dangerous target.
