The Real Madrid team is having yet another outstanding season, overcoming all odds and expectations in the process. In light of the club’s lack of depth and the persistent injury issues they have, it is reasonable to anticipate that they will have difficulty. On the other hand, it seems that this team have a unique quality that provides them with the ability to do things that others can only conceive about. They have an 11-point advantage with six games left to play, making it seem as if winning the La Liga championship is nothing more than a formality. Additionally, the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti ought to be regarded as the favorites to walk away with the Champions League title.
Therefore, the accomplishments of this squad as well as their passion deserve praise. However, at the same time, it is necessary to acknowledge that there is more potential for development.
The center back position is one area in which Real Madrid may benefit from further reinforcements. Players such as Leny Yoro of Lille, Antonio Silva of Benfica, Ousmane Diomande of Sporting Lisbon, and a few others have been the subject of speculation over their potential acquisition. It’s possible that the solution is located closer to home.
It was claimed by AS that Real Madrid made the decision some months ago to include Rafael Marin on its roster for the next season. To fill the role of a fourth central defender in the event that Nacho goes, or to compete with him. As a defender, he has shown himself to be of a level that is suitable for Los Blancos throughout his year at Alaves.
The defender is expected to return to Real Madrid for the next season.
Marin has been considered one of the most talented young players in the world of football for a very long time. The fact that he has not yet played for Real Madrid at the senior level is so difficult to believe that it might be considered impossible. The next month, he will become 22 years old.
The time that Marin spent on loan at Alaves was very beneficial to him. The center defender has been a reliable starter for them throughout the season.
It is true that Alaves have one of the greatest defensive records in the league. This season, they have allowed 38 goals to be scored against them. Outside of the top eight, it is the best score. Additionally, it is just one position higher than FC Barcelona, the same as Atletico Madrid, and two positions below than Girona. Naturally, Real Madrid would want to have Marin back.
