Florentino Pérez could allocate the next major investment to bring a much-needed signing to Real Madrid, a midfielder in the summer of 2027. According to the forecast by Mario Cortegana, a journalist at The Athletic, the club would be willing to approach around 120 million euros if they find a player capable of taking on the control lost after the departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.

The planning does not yet point to a specific name. The financial reference is Yan Diomande, signed this summer from RB Leipzig for an operation around 120 million, but the next outlay of that dimension would target another position.

Florentino Pérez focuses on the center of Real Madrid's midfield

The diagnosis stems from a footballing need. Real Madrid has Fede Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Güler, and Bernardo Silva at their disposal, but they are still seeking a combination that allows them to control games for longer periods.

Güler is gaining prominence precisely for his ability to provide composure, final passes, and creativity. His recent performance against Rayo Vallecano reignited the debate about his importance in the team's build-up play, while Mourinho continues to gradually reintegrate Tchouaméni.

The intention attributed to Florentino Pérez would not be simply to sign another midfielder but to find a specific profile. Kroos took on playmaking and pace from deeper positions, while Modric offered solutions against pressure and the ability to link different areas of the team.

That role still lacks a definitive successor. The performance of the midfield during this season of LaLiga will determine the extent to which the sporting direction needs to turn to the market for a player ready to slot directly into the starting eleven.

Yan Diomande sets the financial benchmark

The comparison with Yan Diomande serves to gauge the potential operation. The Ivorian winger, aged 19, signed until June 30, 2033 after arriving from Leipzig and becoming one of the club's highest investments.

Diomande had completed the previous season with 12 goals and nine assists in 33 Bundesliga matches. Madrid bet on his growth potential and agreed to pay an amount close to 120 million to secure his signing.

Cortegana suggests that Florentino Pérez could make a similar effort in 2027, but this time for a playmaker. It does not mean that the club has already allocated those 120 million or that there is an ongoing negotiation, but that would be the economic scale the search could reach.

The season will decide the move for 2027

The time until next summer allows Mourinho to evaluate the current solutions. Valverde remains influential, Tchouaméni is regaining continuity, Camavinga is also competing for the double pivot, and Güler aims to take on more responsibility.

Therefore, Florentino Pérez's next decision will depend on what happens during this season of LaLiga. If Real Madrid still fails to find a player to dominate their midfield consistently, the summer of 2027 could see the club's next major investment, approaching around 120 million euros.
