Real Madrid are back in the market for a center back, and the Spanish giants are eyeing some of the top talents in the Premier League and Bundesliga.
Although Xabi Alonso welcomed Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Álvaro Carreras to the Spanish capital this summer, he will soon be in need of an additional defensive reinforcement come June.
Real Madrid are thought to be parting ways with David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger, who are both in the final 12 months of their contracts, at the end of the 2025–26 season, leaving the Spanish giants with just three first-team center backs.
To fill the gaping hole, Los Blancos must turn to the transfer market, where there are several elite defenders well within their reach.
