Real Madrid plans to address the defensive situation in the coming years. They are already short on centre-backs, although the position is not as dire as it used to be due to the emergence of Raul Asencio, while David Alaba is also expected to return very soon.
Nevertheless, the fact that Alaba (32) and Antonio Rudiger (31) are now on the wrong side of 30 means that the club will soon have to sign at least one successor, with Eder Militao (26) and Asencio (21) the only ones . younger options in Real Madrid's first team at the moment.
According to Relevo, Real Madrid's ideal signing would be a young, left-sided centre-back, with two glamor options: Manchester City's Josko Gvardiol and Tottenham Hotspur's Micky van de Ven. However, both are considered too expensive.
Instead, Real Madrid could opt for RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba, who has been scouted in recent months, while a younger alternative is Ajax's Jorrel Hato. It remains to be seen who, and when, will be chosen.
