Real Madrid will have several new faces in its squad when La Liga 2024/2025 begins next August. We inevitably think of Kylian Mbappé, Endrick, and possibly Alphonso Davies if the Merengues manage to convince Bayern. But that’s not all. The Madrilenians will also count on a new player in central defense as explained A.S..

Rafa Marin, a 21-year-old central defender trained at the club, should thus be the 4th central defender in the hierarchy. He could notably take the place of a departing Nacho. This season, he shines during his loan to Alavés (29 La Liga matches played) and the Real Madrid staff are convinced that he can have a role to play at the Bernabéu.
