Real Madrid continue to watch from the sidelines as FC Barcelona makes bigger moves in the window of transfers

The January transfer window will remain open for about a week and some La Liga teams take initiatives while others do not. One of the biggest sports rivalries: Real Madrid against FC Barcelona is a perfect example of these contradictions. While the Barca has made big moves in the last six months, Real has been ideal.

Since the beginning of July 2018, FC Barcelona has recruited five players and lent to another solid player. Spending some 128 million euros for such talents as Malcom winger, the most expensive Dutch player of all time Frenkie De Jong, the midfielder Arturo Vidal and the striker. Kevin-Prince Boateng depth.

We can not forget Arthur or central defender Clément Lenglet who both have been on the squad for the first squad sporadically since joining the Catalans.

This talent that Barca's board has targeted in recent times is a much younger group than before. The average age of registered players in the last two windows is 24.8 years.

The reason for this shift in tactics in the transfer niche is probably due to the recent youth academy fights, La Masia. The same academy that produced Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Xavi and many others has slowed down its talent badembly line.

This new transfer market strategy has begun to put more and more pressure on Real Madrid, specifically on President Florentino Perez, so that he can improve his team.

During the same period (two transfer windows), Real Madrid performed remarkable dedications, but not as much as the same sort of songs that Barca did.

To bring Thibaut Courtois was a good gesture of the board of directors, but did it need a signature? Keylor Navas led Los Blancos to three consecutive titles in the Champions League and one Liga title in the 2016/2017 campaign.

Bring Vinícius Júnior was probably the club's best decision on the transfer market, and the proof is the Brazilian's work over the past month.

What I'm trying to do with this argument is that the new Real Madrid players – other than Vinícius – do not have enough impact on the team. The Barca players are. Arturo Vidal was fantastic coming off the bench and showed that recruiting players as designated players is a good new strategy.

Real Madrid need extra help at the center and a reliable striker who can replace Karim Benzema when he needs rest, which has still not been done.

No matter what he does, Jesús Vallejo can not stay healthy. Mariano Díaz – that many fans were eager to see in the Spanish capital – has only played 10 games and a goal while he's beaten.

Barca pick up De Jong is a gigantic gesture since the young midfielder has chosen Messi's team against Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

Real Madrid could have tried to break the deal but remained ideal. I'm sorry to say, but Brahim Díaz's signature will not solve any of the issues that have been raised since Zinedine Zidane's resignation.

President Perez, act and react to what FC Barcelona is doing. If it does not, they could dominate Spain for years.
