Real Madrid is looking for a player to strengthen its defensive line to ensure a generational change.
Real Madrid continues to focus on strengthening its squad for next season. Florentino Pérez is particularly concerned with strengthening both sides. However, some experts are also calling for the addition of a player in the center of defense and another in midfield.
Edu Aguirre, a journalist from « El Chiringuito de Jugones, » stated in the latest program that Real Madrid is already studying the possibility of signing a Premier League player for the center of defense.
REAL MADRID THINKING OF HUIJSEN OR KONATÉ
« Real Madrid has investigated two players. They have sounded out two central defenders. One is from Liverpool, he’s French, his name is Konaté. The second plays for the Spanish national team, his name is Huijsen. They are very popular and they asked for information on the players who play in central defense, » he commented.
Dean Huijsen on his first call-up to the senior national team.
« We have to remember that Alaba is who he is and that Rudiger will stay for one more season, and then we’ll see what happens. I’m hearing about Konaté in particular, but Liverpool are clinging to his 60 million release clause, and he has a contract until 2026, » added Edu Aguirre.
THEY CONTINUE TO MONITOR SEVERAL PLAYERS
If Real Madrid is interested in signing two defenders, it’s a sign that they haven’t yet clearly defined their long-term objective for this position. David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger both have contracts until 2026, and the club is keen to assess their performances in the coming months. This is especially true for the Austrian player, who has been sidelined for over a year, as it remains unclear what his level will be after the injury.
The club has always shown great respect for the commitments made to its players. For this reason, if David Alaba wishes to continue next season, the club will have no objections, especially if the Austrian’s performances improve. However, Real Madrid is already planning a generational transition in defense. A process that, sooner or later, will have to be implemented.
