Why is it that you can buy back Pas at a low price? Real Madrid followers: Transfer fee is not a key factor

Today, Real Madrid team reporter Mario Cortegana responded to fans' questions about Pas and Walton on The Athletic.

Fans asked: Why can Real Madrid spend huge transfer fees to introduce Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Walton when they can buy back Pas at a very low price?

Mario Cortegana replied: The players I mentioned in my column on Monday, including Alkmar Dutch midfielder Keis Smit, are all targets discussed within Real Madrid's management and highly evaluated by the scout report. They are being closely watched, but whether they will translate into actual signings remains to be observed.

The latest case can illustrate the price of Crystal Palace against Walton, and the difference between Cuomo's asking price for Pas is not a key factor: Real Madrid signed back from Benfica for 50 million euros this summer, and they could have bought back Miguel Gutierrez from Girona for 8 million euros by June 30, and the player eventually transferred to Naples.

This involves two key factors: Alonso's tactical preferences and needs, his key role in signings this summer, and the progress of existing midfielders.
