In a recent report, El Nacional stated that Sporting CP winger Pablo Sarabia, who is currently playing on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, wants to return to Real Madrid. It is understood that the Spanish wide player is eager to join Los Blancos to further his career.
Sarabia’s Decent Run Of Form At José Alvalade Stadium This Season
Sarabia is having an impressive campaign in Portugal as he has continued to flourish as a key member of Sporting’s attack. The 29-year-old has registered six goals and five assists in 22 matches for the Portuguese giants this season across various competitions.
The Madrid-born talent has enjoyed a rich vein of form based on his average of 1.5 shots, 2.3 key passes and 1.5 crosses per game in the Liga Bwin. However, he needs to work on improving his link-up play in the final third, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 74.6% in the Portuguese top tier (stats via whoscored).
Should Real Madrid Head Coach Carlo Ancelotti Bring Sarabia Back?
Sarabia is a great dribbler with the ball at his feet and can be a joy to watch when he is running at full swing out on the flanks. He is not afraid to have a strike on target and can contribute by scoring his fair share of goals from the wide areas.
The Spain international can even create some promising opportunities for his teammates deep inside the opponent’s half. He is also a decent crosser of the ball and has got the vision to cut open the opposition defence.
At the moment, Sarabia is playing some of the best football of his playing career. Hence, Los Blancos should think about orchestrating a move to bring him back to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next year.
The Spanish sensation could serve as an upgrade over Eden Hazard, who has flattered to deceive with his performances this season. All in all, Carlo Ancelotti would be wise to recruit Sarabia as he could help the Madrid giants maintain their dominance in Spanish football and even challenge for the UEFA Champions League trophy in the coming seasons.
