Real Madrid hopes to give new optimism on a tired -looking side this summer, first of all with the appointment of Xabi Alonso, and then with the arrival of different signing sessions for the tournament in the United States. One of the priority positions is the left back position.
This season Ferland Mendy has returned to his fitness issues that hit him in previous years, so he did not reach his best. In the meantime, Fran Garcia has improved what an underwhelming first year was back in real Madrid, but is still not familiar with the large occasions, as evidenced by the use of David Alaba against Arsenal in the Champions League.
After he is linked to Jonathan Tah and Florian Wirtz, Alejandro Grimaldo is the third player with which Los Blancos is linked, as Xabi Alonso has a trusted option. The former man of Barcelona has stated that he would like to return to Spanish football, although admitting that his dream was to prove to be the Real Madrid rivals.
Cadena Ser says that Grimaldo would come running to Real Madrid after his soon former manager. He would be available for a reasonable price, and the relevant brands that Miguel Gutierrez is still an option for that reason. Los Blancos has a repurchase option of € 9 million on the Girona link back this summer.
Benfica left back Alvaro Carreras and Jorrel Hato from Ajax are among the options that are most appreciated by Real Madrid, but the costs rise dramatically in their cases. Other names mentioned are Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez and AC Milan's Theo Hernandez.
In addition to a left back, Los Blancos initially wants to bring in a central defender and a right-wing back, although the latter is more or less arranged with Trent Alexander-Arnold that comes in. Dean Huijsen is considered the preferred option in central defense.
