Real Madrid keeping tabs on second Arsenal defender amid contract talks

Real Madrid adds three new defenders to their first team team this summer, but more can arrive in the coming years. Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold have already been confirmed by the club, and in the coming days it is expected that Alvaro Carreras will also arrive.

Carreras arrives from Benfica as competition on Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia for the left/left wing -like position. But the two current Real Madrid players are both confronted with uncertain futures at the Santiago Bernabeu, so there is a chance that someone else will participate in the next 12-18 months.

And that player could be another Englishman, after Jude Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold. That's because Myles Lewis-Skelly is interested in Real Madrid, as reported by the Guardian (via Chattside).

Lewis-Skelly, who is only 18, was a Breakout star for Arsenal during the 2024-25 season. He made 39 performances in all competitions and settled as the left back of Mikel Arteta.

And on the back of this, conversations are going on about a new contract. However, the report stated that these negotiations between Myles-Skelly and Arsenal are not going well and in view of the fact that his existing deal ends in 2026, there can be problems for the Premier League side.

Real Madrid would like to take advantage of the contract situation of another player, on the back of closing a deal for Alexander-Arnold. And it is logical that they show interest in Lewis-Skelly, seen how he has achieved since he has established himself in the first team of Arsenal, so that they will remain an eye on these current negotiations to gauge whether his signing could be possible.

This situation will be one to keep an eye on in the summer, and Real Madrid will hope that things will come to their advantage.
