Real Madrid have been on fire recently.
Following a rocky start to the 2019/20 season, Los Blancos have successfully turned their fortunes around and have now tallied 18 goals in the last five games, conceding just one goal in the process.
By all standards, Zinedine Zidane has definitely made some good changes that benefited the team and they are still reaping their rewards with some important games coming up in the near future.
And one big part of that success has been the emergence of their young players like Federico Valverde and Rodrygo.

Both players have been extremely efficient and have given some much-needed wind to the Galacticos’ sails. Of course, we shouldn’t forget Vinicius Junior, who is another young, up and coming player with enough talent to become a star of the future.
The best part of that, however, seems to be in Zidane and Florentino Perez’s stance on their young players.
Just recently, Defensa Central came out with a story stating Real Madrid have been offered Willian from Chelsea as the Brazilian is looking to leave London in the not too distant future.

Interestingly enough, the now 31-year-old winger will be out of contract next summer and even though there is certainly quality still in his legs, Real reportedly decided to turn this offer down.
To put it simply – they have no need for Willian and despite his availability, it seems that Real Madrid will put some faith into their current wingers, especially the young ones in the form of Rodrygo and Vinicius.
This update is definitely great news for the duo as it seems that Zidane trusts them and will keep them in his plans.
As for Willian – he has managed to bag three goals and three assists in a total of 16 games across all competitions, but that doesn’t seem to be enough to convince Los Blancos.
Given the expiry date of his contract and Frank Lampard’s young squad, separation does seem more than just a distant thought at this point in time.
Seeing how the Blues are currently fourth in the table and on track to fight for the top spots in the Premier League, maybe the Blues could use Willian’s experience and pedigree to their advantage.
Keeping him until the summer, for that reason, could also be a decent idea for the London team.
In other news, there has been an intriguing revelation connecting Real Madrid with new Spurs boss Jose Mourinho.
