Real Madrid have reportedly held internal discussions in which they admitted mistakes in their recent transfer strategy, as frustration grows during another disappointing season at the Bernabeu.
The club’s sporting leadership is said to feel that key decisions in the market have left the squad short in important areas, with the balance of the team questioned as results and performances have failed to meet the usual standards in Madrid.
Despite the club’s long-standing policy of targeting major names and the “Galacticos” approach that has shaped eras in the past, it has been revealed that there is now an acceptance behind the scenes that the current plan has not delivered what was expected.
Real are still fighting on multiple fronts, but the mood around the team has been affected by inconsistency and by the sense that, compared to their biggest rivals, they have not strengthened in the right way at the right time.
The report suggests there is a growing belief within the club that the recruitment model needs adjusting, with lessons taken from a campaign that has not gone to plan.
With major decisions ahead, Madrid are expected to review their approach as they look to correct course and build a squad capable of returning to the level the club demands.
