Real Madrid is currently in search of a new central defender for the upcoming season. One of their top targets is 18-year-old Lille defender Leny Yoro. However, they have also been linked to other players in recent weeks, including Riccardo Calafiori and William Saliba.
While Calafiori’s potential move to Real Madrid was quickly dismissed, Saliba has emerged as a possible option for the Spanish giants. Alongside Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid is reportedly interested in the Arsenal center-back, who has been showcasing his talent for France at Euro 2024. Despite Arsenal’s reluctance to sell him, Real Madrid has asked for more information on Saliba.
Although Real Madrid was previously linked to Saliba in October, it is unclear if they will make a move for him this summer. With aging defenders like Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba in the squad, the club may be considering potential successors for the future. However, it is possible that these rumors are simply the work of agents trying to secure better deals for their clients. Ultimately, Real Madrid’s pursuit of a new central defender remains ongoing as they evaluate their options.
