Real Madrid’s search for a new center back has led them to Leny Yoro, a defender for Lille. Yoro is not only considered to be the preferred target, but he also has the support of Kylian Mbappe, who is on the verge of becoming a superstar and played at the Santiago Bernabeu.
On the other hand, it is anticipated that Yoro will be purchased for a substantial amount of money, and Lille is negotiating a price of sixty million euros, which may end up discouraging Real Madrid from making the deal.
Do you have an alternative, Aaron Anselmino?
During this time, there are stories circulating in Argentina that suggest Los Blancos had shown interest in a promising young defensive player from the South American country for the next season.
As reported by Martin Costa of ESPN Argentina, Real Madrid is reportedly keeping a careful eye on Aaron Anselmino, a defender prospect who is 18 years old and plays for Boca Juniors.
The news that Los Blancos scouts had been to Argentina to see River Plate wonderkid Franco Mastantuono was only published by us earlier today. Furthermore, it seems that they also cast a peek in the direction of Anselmino.
Just 18 years old, Anselmino has made seven senior appearances for Boca Juniors and is held in the highest regard in the country. And his potential has alerted Real Madrid.
€18 million release clause
Boca Juniors handed Anselminos a new contract earlier this year, securing his future at the club until December 31, 2028.
However, as per Martin Costa, the exit clause contains a release clause worth $20 million (~€18 million), and it would not be an issue for Real Madrid if they decided to go after him.
Other clubs like Manchester United and AC Milan are also interested in the young talent and it remains to be seen if this leads to anything substantial.
