Real Madrid brought Dean Huijsen this summer to an amount of € 60 million, but still wants to strengthen the center-back position this year or the following. The will of David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger continue, in all likelihood next season, and there is uncertainty about how Eder Militao will respond after cross magazines in successive seasons.
Los Blancos is therefore strongly linked to Ibrahima Konate, which is high on their list of options for next summer – or this for the right price. The Frenchman is a free agent the next summer and has so far rejected Liverpool's attempts to sign him on a new deal.
However, it is not long since William Saliba was cited as the best target of Los Blancos for this summer, even if that conversation has approached cost problems since then. Nevertheless, Diario says that Real Madrid remains very interested in Saliba. Arsenal does their best to expand his deal, but if he doesn't, Real Madrid could benefit the next summer. They continued to explore the 24-year-old.
Real Madrid got the chance to see Saliba up close in the Champions League and was very impressed by how he dealt with Kylian Mbappe during the draw. His countryman saw little goal in the second stage, and the versions of Saliba only increased the interest of Los Blancos in him. It is worth remembering that Real Madrid has already had contact with his agents to determine the parameters of personal terms.
In both the cases of Konate and Saliba, Real Madrid hopes that they will not sign new deals, essentially that lays the foundation for Los Blancos to close affordable deals. If Liverpool and Arsenal can agree on new contracts with their star defenders, it is unlikely that Real Madrid will pursue a step for a high price. As is apparent from people like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Los Blancos, however, exerts a strong pull-over players.
