Real Madrid is reportedly seeking to strengthen its defense by enquiring about an 18-year-old central defender with a hefty price tag of $64.5 million (€60 million) attached to him, according to MARCA. The central defense has been a troublesome area for Los Blancos in the ongoing 2023/2024 season.
With the unfortunate ACL rupture of Eder Militao on the season's opening day against Athletic Club, followed by David Alaba suffering a similar injury later in the year, Real Madrid has been lacking in defensive depth. However, there is some good news as Militao is on the road to recovery ahead of schedule and is expected to make his comeback later this month or in March. His return will boost Madrid's chances of securing their unprecedented 15th Champions League title.
