In the next summer transfer window, Real Madrid has a packed schedule of activities planned. A number of places are seen to be in need of reinforcements in order to take the already formidable side to the next level.
The inclusion of a world-class left defender and the recruitment of a blockbuster striker are two of the goals that Los Blancos have had set for themselves for the summer. It is necessary for the central defense region to get the third recruiting, which is similarly important.
The candidate that Real Madrid values the most
This season, the men in white may be able to claim having one of the most fearsome defenses in Europe in terms of the amount of players they have. In spite of this, the fact that Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Nacho Fernandez are all significantly older than 30 years old does not assist their situation in the long run.
This means that Real Madrid will be looking to acquire a young player with a wide range of skills in June, and Leny Yoro is one of the players who has been heavily associated with the Spanish capital. The young defender, who is just 18 years old, is already a regular starter for Lille, a team that competes in Ligue 1, and is considered to have a very high potential.
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, the Merengues have been there to see Yoro on several occasions during this season, and they have expressed their admiration for his profile repeatedly. The club’s scouts have expressed their admiration for him, and the administration is going to make a significant effort to sign him.
The fact that the kid has attracted the interest of a number of other great teams in Europe, however, will make it difficult to achieve this goal. Romano goes on to say that a fierce competition amongst the best teams in the world is anticipated to take place throughout the summer for his signature, with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United also competing for his services.
Who are the other options available?
Due to the fact that Real Madrid is solely interested in acquiring youthful talent, Florentino Perez has not been able to add a significant number of other players to his wishlist. Nevertheless, in addition to Leny Yoro, there have been two more candidates brought forward.
The Galacticos consider the 22-year-old defender Goncalo Inacio, who plays for Sporting CP, to be a potential candidate due to the tremendous progress he has shown over the last several years. An other possibility from Portugal is Antonio Silva, a talented center defender who plays for Benfica. Silva, who is just 20 years old, has already established himself as a consistent player in Liga Portugal.
Rafa Marin, a defender now on loan from Real Madrid and currently playing for Alaves, is a third player who has a remote possibility of being acquired but would not be considered a new acquisition. It goes without saying that Los Blancos will be faced with a tough choice in the month of June.
