Real Madrid have signed one defender, Dean Huijsen, and are looking to secure two more before the FIFA Club World Cup. Brazilian forward Rodrygo could be starting with the club after reports he would leave this summer.
Below are the latest transfer news and rumors surrounding Real Madrid from football publications and websites around the world.
Real Madrid are not looking to sell forward Rodrygo and is looking to extend his contract. The Brazilian has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Manchester City mentioned as destinations. However, supporting Xabi Alonso's comments that Rodrygo is an essential player for the club, they want to offer him an extension until 2030. - Football España

If Real Madrid wants to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, it is likely too late, with Arsenal in pole position to sign the Spanish international. With Xabi Alonso incoming, there is a slight chance of a hijack if he wants the player, but it looks unlikely. - Ben Jacobs
Newcastle United are the latest club to be interested in signing Rodrygo. The Magpies, who secured Champions League football again, are reportedly ready to offer $91 million (€80 million) for the Brazilian forward, who is said to be unhappy in Spain. - Fichajes
