The situation in Real Madrid’s defensive sector is experiencing a new worrying turn. While Éder Militão must once again go through surgery and is already out of the 2026 World Cup, this forces the Madrid club to review its defensive plans as a pivotal period of the season approaches.
According to information reported by Spanish journalist Javier Herráez in El Larguerothis new blow could accelerate important internal decisions. Real Madrid would consider strengthening its defensive sector, especially in the event of the departure of Raúl Asencio, as discussed behind the scenes. At the same time, Antonio Rüdiger, recently returned to a good level after his physical problems, would have received an interesting departure offer, but the 33-year-old player is not closing the door to an extension. A still unclear situation which could strongly influence the Madrid summer transfer window.
