I think they also need a central midfielder to replace Modric. Although Modric still looks very agile, Anceloti needs updating. Benzema is still good but having a potential replacement is not wrong I think it will be profitable to start now. The senior madrid players on average may effectively play 3 years again. Maybe your thoughts are the same as mine, being afraid to start with young players. Madrid will fail in the transition period.
They have actually made their move to replace not only Modric but also Kroos already. Tchouameni has been brought to the team and he is the future of Real Madrid midfield together with Camavinga. I don't know if they would play side by side in the starting eleven already now but they are going to do so soon. Real Madrid are caring about making the team younger a lot. It is the key for them to be successful in the long run as well.
Yes, Real Madrid has started to regenerate players like Modric, Kroos. Actually they did that even last season, it's just that the intensity of the game is still bigger for them (Modric, Kroos and Casimero). I think next season they will start with a bit more rotation in the middle position. I see they will start to give time to their young players but it is still in their senior command.
For me, for now, I don't think Real Madrid will make many purchases, since the World Cup will be in November and many players will be seen, some will emerge and others will be recognized, this is a unique opportunity, and we all know that in this type of events Real Madrid usually chooses the best players to play with them, and obviously the youngest, Real Madrid for now will keep the most veteran players in its ranks and they will continue to enjoy their performance to the maximum, but even the same Players like Benzema know that they have to look for new horizons, just like Modric and some others.
Barcelona will be a strong competitor to Madrid this season. different from last season, when Barcelona experienced a big problem that disrupted the team's performance. but now I think Barcelona can play more consistently than last season.
every team has weaknesses, and so do Madrid and Barcelona. bringing in several players is one of the team's efforts to cover their weaknesses. once on the field, the consistency of the players in carrying out the coach's plans will win.
There are always a lot of positive points that Barcelona will get next season this time. I agree that every season is almost unpredictable and that is wide open for Barcelona as well, being a worthy contender for Real Madrid. Barcelona now with a terrible squad will definitely be the center of attention. Hopefully, this is the time we see Barcelona going to feast on goals.
I think that Barcelona currently has a very good opportunity, Lewa's entry into the team gives him a lot of morale and I think he can help the team a lot, however I see Barcelona that still lacks a lot, as they are now I still don't see him at such a level as tall as Real Madrid, I think they still need a couple of players, one to help Lewa and another very good one who is in midfield, in my personal opinion I think that a good football team begins to dominate and win from midfield.
