Real Madrid administration prioritise cultural rebuild over signings amid internal crisis
Real Madrid’s internal crisis is currently one of the most talked about topics in world football, and it is clear that the club is being seen as in downfall from the outside.
For starters, Los Blancos are now on their second straight season without major silverware which comes as a massive blow to their image.
Further, news of internal fights leading up to even hospitalisations, a lack of respect for the manager, and a player-centric dressing room atmosphere are all ruining the image of Real Madrid.
Florentino Perez and Co., needless to say, are worried by the direction the club is headed in both a sporting and a cultural sense. Their priority seemed to be to get the sporting project back in line, but that appears to have changed now.
According to reports from Diario AS, Los Blancos’ primary mission is no longer about winning titles but about restoring the lost prestige and values within the club.

This has led the management to believe that ‘rebuilding the character’ of the broken dressing room is more important than making massive summer signings.
Only nine players from the current Real Madrid squad have remained free from controversy and internal tussles and the management understands how much damage is being done to the club’s image.
They are thus not only focusing on ensuring that there is better harmony internally but also that there are no leaks of any internal tussles in the future. Signings and sporting moves will now take a back step.
