  • Most players have their heads turned by Real Madrid, but what happened to the club's seven transfer targets from the summer of 2021? The Spanish giants are often linked with the biggest names in the world and that was certainly the case throughout 2021.

The article from MSN Sports, originally published by Marca, discusses the current status of seven players Real Madrid targeted in the 2021 transfer window. Here's a summary:

  • Kylian Mbappe chose to stay with PSG, signing a new contract in 2022, despite interest from Real Madrid. He has since moved to Real Madrid in 2023.
  • Erling Haaland was another high-profile target, but he signed with Manchester City in 2022, where he has been exceptionally successful, scoring 52 goals in his debut season.
  • Eduardo Camavinga was successfully signed by Real Madrid from Rennes in 2021 for €31 million, becoming a key player in their midfield.
  • Aurelien Tchouameni also joined Real Madrid from Monaco in 2022 for €80 million, showing promise despite some initial adaptation challenges.
  • Antonio Rudiger moved to Real Madrid on a free transfer from Chelsea in 2022, proving to be a solid addition to their defense.
  • David Alaba was signed from Bayern Munich in 2021, adapting well to the team and even playing in midfield when needed.
  • Paul Pogba was considered but did not join Real Madrid; he returned to Juventus in 2022, though his time there has been marred by injuries.
