The ‘renew’ plan of Real Madrid

Lto season of real Madrid ended disappointingly after falling forcefully and by the fast lane (3-0) in the Endesa League final against Barcelona. In barely a month the white team has passed to touch the sky with the conquest against forecast of the Euroleague, the Holy Grail of a club historically called to dominate in Europe, apgo through the mud with a painful defeat against the eternal rival.

In the offices they have been working on planning for the next season for some time and, apart from the return of Facundo Campazzo, whose agreement for three seasons the club will make official as soon as the Argentine finishes playing the final of the Serbian League. And looking for a shooter. kyle guythe bomber who said goodbye last Thursday to the youthIt’s on your schedule. And they must decide in a few days which players continue and which not, because until Seven of the 17 players on the squad are out of contract on June 30.

Cornelie, out; Goss, Hanga and Alocn, doubts

Of the seven that end their contract, their continuity is practically guaranteed Sergio Rodríguez (37 years old)which with its great end of the season has earned to continue, and Rudy Fernndez (38 years old), whose defensive plus has been decisive in many important games of this campaign. Despite their age, the club considers that they can contribute positive things for another year coming off the bench and with a reasonable load of minutes.

In a different situation Petr Corneliewho averaged 4.4 points and 3 rebounds per game in the League, I didn’t play a single game in the playoffsyes, and barely participated an average of 2.4 minutes in those of the euroleague. The Frenchman was expected to help with his 2.11 meters and his good hand, but his contribution has been more than residual in the rebound and in triples accredited 26.2% in League. Not to follow.

Carlos Alocn, who has not played all season, may continue. On February 13, 2022, I suffered the complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee and it has been a year and four months without reappearing. When he does, he will need to pick up the pace and Madrid, which has an optional year in his contract, Consider turning it into two and giving it up first.

The continuity of Hanga is not certain

As to Adam Hanga and Williams-Goss, its continuity is in doubt. The Hungarian forward is a defensive stronghold and can act as a wild card as a baseis 34 years old and the club has not yet decided whether to exercise optional contract year that you have in your hands. Depend on whether the market offers something better and affordable. If he doesn’t follow, he Bayern Munich of Pablo Laso and the olympiacos they are interested in it.

As to Williams-Goss, is more outside than inside. The question is if Campazzo, Sergio Rodríguez, Llull and Hangaif the latter continues, they are enough to have a direction of guarantees.

Negotiate with Tavares, Deck and Musa, which end in 2024

That as regards the immediate, but in a short term, Madrid has been working on renovations for a long time of some of the seven players whose contract ends in 2024, a key campaign. In this regard, there have already been contacts with the representatives of Edy Tavaresa fundamental piece that demands an improvement in their emoluments, dzanan musewho has not had a good end to the season, but whose agents have already started in Kaunas (home of the Final Four) to talk about his continuity, and the injured Gaby Deck, which is very close to reaching an extension agreement. The three a priori will expand their bond.

In 2024 contract also ends Hezonja, Poirier, Llull and Causeurand a priori only the latter could be cut before completing the year of his contract that remains to make room for a shooter as kyle guythe gunner of the youth that is on the white agenda. But Madrid does not usually cut players with a current contract and pay them their contracts without playing and then have to hire others.

Abalde does not count, but has a contract until 2025

This can also be applied to two players who Contract ends in 2025: Guerschon Yabuselewhose future was in suspense after his attack on exum in the controversial playoff against Partizn. AND Alberto Abaldefor whom Madrid paid 1.5 million to Valencia in 2020 and it has not lived up to expectations. In the Euroleague he only played 24 of the 42 games and in the League 25 of 34. And he has not played a minute in the playoffs of both competitions. But cutting it will be expensive for the club, tired of its ongoing physical problems.

also The young Eli Ndiaye (18 years old) ends his contract in 2025, although his destiny before that moment arrives could be in the NBA. It is what they fear in the club, that they will also incorporate another white blackbird, the promising Hugo González, guard of 1.99 m and 17 years.

Chus Mateo and the shadow of Sergio Scariolo

In case of Chus Mateo should not be an unknown, because he signed for two seasons, until 2024, but not even he seems to be clear about his continuity: “I want to continue and the club I understand that too,” he said as soon as he lost the League. Under his baton, Madrid won last league finaland this season the Super Cup and against all odds the euroleaguestarring in an epic series before the partition to come back from 0-2 in the quarterfinals. The confidence that he gave his players had a lot to do with it. And in this last League final his team competed in all three matchesbut in Madrid that is not enough and the 3-0 against the eternal rival stings.

The white club came to contact Sergio Scariolo when the defeat before him partition It seemed evident with the 0-2. The current selector and coach of the Virtus Bologna prioritized returning to the NBA with the toronto raptors, who interviewed him as a candidate for head coach, but that option disappeared and he has a contract with the Italian club. The normal thing will be that Chus Mateo he completed the year of his contract that he has left… but it is not the first time that Madrid has taken on a coach who has just won the European Cup. Let them ask Heynckes oh Forest.
