Real Madrid's Deadline Day: Calm Before the Storm?

Real Madrid are staring at a deadline day that looks calm on the surface, but no one at the Santiago Bernabeu is switching their phone off.

The club’s stance is clear: no new signings unless someone leaves first. And right now, that exit door looks firmly shut.

Inside the Bernabeu offices, staff remain on standby for any late twist. A single unexpected call could flip the script in the final hours, yet every indication from the Spanish capital suggests this window will close without a major jolt to the squad.

Camavinga central to Madrid’s stance

According to Spanish newspaper AS, the spotlight today falls mainly on two names: Raul Asencio and Eduardo Camavinga. Different cases, same bottom line – both players want to stay at Real Madrid.

Asencio has been offered to the club on a loan deal. Camavinga has not been placed on the market at all.

With the Frenchman, the theory was always simple: if he ever did leave, it would be for serious money. His sale has long been viewed as one of the few operations capable of bringing in a big fee, easing financial pressure and creating room for manoeuvre in the squad.

That is why Madrid’s message around Camavinga has not shifted in weeks. They will not let him go under any circumstances unless a huge offer arrives. The bar is set at no less than 70 million euros. So far, nothing close to that figure has landed on the table.

Slim chances of late movement

Could that change before the window slams shut? Technically, yes. If a bid of that magnitude dropped today, it would force Madrid to sit down with the player and at least revisit their position.

Right now, that scenario feels remote.

There is also a watchful eye on Ferland Mendy. Madrid have not completely closed the door on movement around the left-back, but the club believe no formal offers have arrived, not least because of his ongoing injury problems. That fitness record weighs heavily on any potential deal.

So the door is ajar in a few specific cases, but the most likely outcome is still the simplest one: nothing happens.

Endrick and Mourinho look ahead

One situation that appears settled is Endrick’s. The Brazilian is expected to stay, with Jose Mourinho making it clear he wants the youngster in his plans and intends to count on him this season.

No fireworks, no last-minute drama – unless a late giant comes calling with 70 million euros. Until then, Real Madrid look set to ride out deadline day with what they already have.
