Despite the fact that Kylian Mbappe’s intense ties with Real Madrid often take center stage, the sports department continues to discover possible recruitments in all parts of the team to boost positions other than the front line.
Real Madrid’s defense is in urgent need of reinforcement, as the club’s management sees reinforcements on the back line as a priority in the near future.
Real Madrid are on the lookout for young defenders in light of their aging backline and Eder Militao’s protracted injury absence.
According to SPORT, Real Madrid’s sports administration is deliberating between two candidates: Gonçalo Inácio and Giorgio Scalvini.
If Militao does not recover in time, one of their arrivals during the next winter transfer window might be in the works.
Real Madrid may turn their attention back to Goncalo Inacio.
Real Madrid had been after Gonçalo Inácio all summer, but Sporting CP was able to extend his contract until 2027, boosting his buyout option to €60 million.
Even in the next winter market, the Portuguese club is open to a move.
Furthermore, Sporting CP would be prepared to receive €45 million now and the remaining €15 million after the season, deferring a part of the payment.
His prospective transfer in January will undoubtedly help Real Madrid’s short-term goals while also securing a top defender for the future.
Scalvini has recently sparked interest.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, sees Scalvini as a long-term alternative to bolster their defense.
In addition to 61 appearances for Atalanta’s first team, the 19-year-old centre-back has already earned a berth in the Italian national squad, where he has made seven appearances.
The Italian’s contract, like Inácio’s, is good until 2027, therefore Real Madrid will have to negotiate with Atalanta. His market worth is €40 million, and given Manchester City’s interest, that figure might rise much more.
Scalvini and Inacio remain two of football’s most talented defensive players. As a result, the Merengues are eager to have any of them on their team.
