Defense is the most important goal to improve this summer for Carlo Ancelotti.
The Los Blancos boss is confronted with important decisions about his back line, because injuries remain a concern in Madrid.
Antonio Rudiger is obliged to keep the defense together with Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, both excluded for the season with ACL injuries.
The delayed return from David Alaba to Fitness has added the trunk despite the impressive rise of Raul Asencio as Rudiger's Center Back partner.
Ancelotti will assess the respective recovery of Militao and Carvajal, where the latter is challenged by the potential arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
With Rudiger and Alaba, both more than 30 and outside the contract in 2026 are required new faces as part of a defensive makeover.
According to reports from Teamtalk.com, Ancelotti looks at the Premier League for options, with Tottenham Center back Cristian Romero back on his radar.
Romero has been sporadically connected to Real Madrid for the past 12 months, despite his interest in the plans of Postecoglou in Noord -Londen in Ange.
Despite his own struggle to get fit again, the long-term place of the Argentinian at Spurs is unclear, and a move to Madrid would offer a guarantee from UEFA Champions League football for the 26-year-old.
Spurs are open to expanding his contract after 2027, with a current transfer value of approximately £ 60 million, which Ancelotti can try to drive down.
The alternative option is Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton, who indicated Ancelotti a Premier League debut, during his enchantment on Merseyside.
The shares of Branthwaite continue to rise and its value is even higher at £ 70 million with conversations that are going on about an extension with the Toffees.
Both players are currently priced above what Real Madrid is willing to pay, but Ancelotti is determined not to repeat what happened this season, with Rudiger the only senior central defender left in his team.
