Real Madrid has not had the best start to the season. They are second behind FC Barcelona in La Liga and surprisingly lost to Lille in the Champions League. In addition, the club has to deal with numerous injuries. Reinforcements are therefore already being sought.
Last season, Real won the Spanish league title and the Champions League final. Nevertheless, the team was enriched with some quality elements during the summer transfer window.
Thus, the long-awaited arrival of Kylian Mbappé has been finalized and Brazil’s darling, Endrick, has also joined Madrid. The line of attack therefore seems more than well armed.
But Real also saw valuable elements leave. Toni Kroos has decided to hang up his crampons. Nacho Fernandez, meanwhile, succumbed to Saudi Arabia’s millions. But neither player was directly replaced.
Necessary reinforcements
In Nacho’s case, this is a surprising choice. The experienced Spaniard was not such an important pillar, but in terms of versatility he represented an important strength. This allowed him to deploy in different positions in the back line.
And this, while the defensive options are quite limited anyway. Real therefore seems to regret the decision not to replace him. In fact, in the meantime, Dani Carvajal was injured and will be out of action for several months. The club management therefore wishes to react on the transfer market.
The Arsenal pillar
Last weekend it was already announced that Real wanted to rearm during the winter transfer window for the first time in six years. To do this, he targets both a central defender and a right back. Different avenues are therefore explored.
Le10Sport now cites William Saliba as one of the targets. At Arsenal, the French international has become one of the best defenders on European fields. This is why it is said that the Gunners will demand a high price.
His arrival does not seem to be expected before the end of the season at the earliest, even if contacts could already be made in January. Real have already launched a charm offensive with the Frenchman and his entourage.
