Real Madrid could sign two central defenders in the summer – report
Real Madrid could sign two central defenders in the summer transfer window, depending on which players end up leaving the club, according to a report from AS.
Real Madrid will start preparing for life under new manager Jose Mourinho after the elections, with the defense being the most important position for reinforcement.
The report stated that Raul Asencio’s future is not certain, and Mourinho will directly decide whether he stays or leaves. If he does leave, then Real Madrid could potentially sign two central defenders in the summer.
It is also mentioned that Ibrahima Konate — who has just been confirmed to be leaving Liverpool in a statement by the club on Sunday — could be in the mix once again.
Real Madrid had shown interest in him before, and may have reignited it in the last week or so, and it remains to be seen which players the club ends up signing.
The World Cup would also be a good indicator of which players Real Madrid could go for, and it will be interesting to watch how it all unfolds.
