Real Madrid already seems to have locked Liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold for next season, with the international of England coming for free at the end of his contract. He will be their long -term rights back in theory, but there are enough in the Spanish capital who believe that they should continue to strengthen their defense.
Eer Militao has sustained two cross magazines in successive seasons, while Antonio Rudiger has driven into the ground and David Alaba has not had to get his best since his own serious knee injury. Raul Asencio is currently their only reliable option in the central defense, with many called for further investments.
It is not surprising that Real Madrid is linked to a number of options. Castello Lukeba, Jorrel Hato and Ibrahima Konate, who was out of the contract in 2026, have been cited several times, but their clear first choice is William Saliba. The Arsenal defender will no longer be a contract in 2027, and despite the fact that he is now mentioned in Madrid as the 'Bellingham or Defenders', Saliba has stated that he is happy in London. The costs to extract him can prove to be too much for Los Blancos.
However, if they want to invest this summer, Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen is perhaps the most accessible. The Spain International has a release clause of € 60 million and with Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all willing to activate it, a stay in England has been reported as the most likely way of acting. Another uncertainty is whether Real Madrid is willing to spend great on the 20-year-old.
Yet Marca says that Real Madrid still believes that they have a lead in the race for his signature. Huijsen has made it clear that he is willing to secure what is needed to secure a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, and Los Blancos believes that, as Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham includes, give up considerable money in terms of what they offer in a contract. Real Madrid will not match the salaries offered in London and consider a deal as 'difficult but possibly'.
