5 reasons why Real Madrid shouldn’t sack Lopetegui

#1 Didn’t get proper backing

Madrid sold Ronaldo

Florentino Perez seems to have changed his approach in the transfer market. No longer does he spend hundreds of millions of euros to bring in star players to the club. The last time he signed a Galactico was four years ago when James Rodriguez joined the Bernabeu for a fee of €80 million.

This summer, he had all the reasons to spend big. Real were already a striker short and Ronaldo also left, making it imperative for the Spanish tycoon to sign a potent goalscorer.

However, in the end, the only attacker that Madrid signed was former player Mariano. As a result, it is safe to admit that Lopetegui wasn’t backed in the transfer market and Madrid’s lack of scoring problems can’t entirely be blamed on the manager.

After all, he wasn’t backed in the summer transfer window. Had he got someone like Mbappe and Madrid were still struggling to score, then it made sense to point fingers at Lopetegui.

Right now, however, the former Spain manager needs backing in at least one window as even the thought of sacking him at this point makes no sense at all.
