Hernandez's departure was key in economic terms for the entry of 80 million euros (the aforementioned ended their contract) and was a very well-managed money to cover defensive needs, came names such as Kieran Trippier (28 years), Mario Hermoso (24 years), Renan Lodi (21 years) and Felipe Augusto (30 years) for a total of 87 million euros and lowering the average age to 25.75 years (previously was an average of almost 31 years).
Without a doubt a respite of renovation and that they have demonstrated good level in the disputed friendly matches allowing only 1 single goal with Lodi, Hermoso, Savic and Trippier incumbents.
It is important to mention other signings such as the Portuguese João Félix (19 years), Nicolás Ibáñez (24 years), Ivan Šaponjić (21 years), Marcos Llorente (24 years) and Héctor Herrera (29 years), good signings that continue to bet on youth. There is still much to see but it is a project that paints well and are clear candidates for the Spanish championship.
