The club is already short on options at center back, although the position is no longer as critical as before due to the emergence of Raul Asencio, while David Alaba is also expected to make a return very soon.
However, the fact that Alaba (32) and Antonio Rudiger (31) have now passed the 30-year mark means that the club will soon have to recruit at least one successor, Eder Militao (26) and Asencio (21). being the only younger options in Real Madrid’s first team at present.
Real wants defenders
According to Relevo, Real Madrid’s ideal signing would be a young left centre-back, with two glamorous options in Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol and Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven. However, both are considered overpriced.
Real Madrid could instead opt for RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba, who has been scouted in recent months, while a younger alternative would be Ajax’s Jorrel Hato. It remains to be seen for whom and when the choice will be made.
