Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez will continue to be the only two choices available to Real Madrid’s manager for the next season given that the club has made a decision about the right-back position for the upcoming season.
The option, on the other hand, is not viable in the long term due to the fact that the two players are of an advanced age, and it is evident that Los Blancos must join the transfer market as soon as possible rather than waiting until later to fill the hole.
Los Blancos now have the opportunity to consider the young Brazilian prodigy Pedro Lima as a potential player in this regard. In spite of the fact that they are keeping a close watch on his position, Real Madrid has not yet made an official contact.
The contest is with Chelsea.
According to a story that was published not too long ago by AS, the list of potential buyers for Lima is only growing by the day. In recent years, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Paris Saint-Germain have all been keeping an eye on the great player, and Chelsea has now joined the competition with a specific goal in mind.
Reportedly, the club located in London has made an offer to Sport Recife for the young right-back that is close to eight million euros, and the president of the club has already been to England in order to negotiate the transfer.
Consequently, if Real Madrid is interested in entering the competition for Lima, now is the best moment to do so, as Chelsea may very easily complete the signing of Lima within the next few weeks.
At the tender age of seventeen, the standout player for Sport Recife has already scored one goal and provided an assist for his side in the Pernambucano competition, as well as scored one goal in the Copa de Nordeste.
The present state of affairs
Considering that the Merengues are expected to bring in players such as Alphonso Davies and Kylian Mbappe, as well as most likely a new center back, it is very improbable that they would attempt to get a new right back within the same transfer window.
Taking into consideration the fact that both Carvajal and Vazquez are currently doing very well, the right-back position is adequately covered by the present team.
The contractual condition of the latter was shrouded in uncertainty, particularly when taking into consideration the fact that it would expire this summer. Vazquez, on the other hand, is anticipated to extend his contract without encountering any obstacles in the coming weeks.
