Centre-backs for Real Madrid

Real Madrid is seeking to bolster its defense before the transfer window closes, especially after losing out on Leny Yoro to Manchester United. With David Alaba sidelined due to injury, the club is eyeing potential signings, including Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, who has reportedly reached an agreement with United but remains on hold due to their need to offload another center-back. Additionally, Real Madrid is considering other options, such as Arsenal's William Saliba, who has become a key player in the Premier League and could command a world record fee for a defender. Meanwhile, Manchester United, under Erik ten Hag, is looking to solidify their defensive strategies with the recent addition of Yoro and the potential signing of de Ligt. The Spanish football market is also buzzing with speculation about Spanish players like Rodri and Olmo moving to bigger clubs following their impressive performances in the recent tournament. With multiple high-profile players in play, both clubs are poised for a dynamic transfer period.
