Defense was the main project of Real Madrid this summer. A sector bruised by injuries this season, whether in the axis with Éder Militão and David Alaba or on the sides with Dani Carvajal and even a Ferland Mendy often affected, it was therefore behind that the management wanted first to strengthen. And it's done with the arrival of Dean Huijsen for the central hinge. The Spanish defender of Dutch origin is already shining under the orders of Xabi Alonso during this 2025 club World Cup.
For the post of right side, the club of the Spanish capital has enlisted Trent Alexander-Arnold, thus offering itself one of the world references to its post. For the left flank, the Merengues hope to be able to complete the Alvaro Carreras (Benfica) file after the World Cup, but already have alternatives in the event that his arrival falls into the water, with Alejandro Grimaldo (Leverkusen) as the main plan B. And Real Madrid will not stop there since the plan of Florentino Pérez is to recruit a new central defender. It remains to be seen exactly if the Madrilenians want this summer, or if they will wait next summer.
Real Madrid is not particularly interested … for the moment
The name of Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool), free in a year, as well as that of William Saliba (Arsenal), very often returned to the Spanish press in recent days, just like that of Christian Mosquera (Valence). And here in Italy, the Gazzetta dello Sport Indicates that a new player was offered to the management of Casa Blanca. It is Evan Nadicka, the Ivorian international central defender of AS Roma, born in Paris and trained on the side of AJ Auxerre.
The wolf needs to fill the boxes and hopes to make a big sale. The 25 -year -old, who comes out of an excellent season in which he has played all the meetings of Serie A (38) from his team, is a workforce with a strong market value. The Roman leaders even directly offered it to Real Madrid this weekend, with a sale price set at 40 million euros. For the moment, Real Madrid has declined this proposal, not necessarily interested and considering having enough people in defense for the coming season, at least according to information from the Italian media. But we know, things change very quickly in football …
