Relevo reports that Florentino Perez, Jose Angel Sanchez, and Juni Calafat, who make up the decision-making trio at Real Madrid, are contemplating a shift in their summer priorities for 2024. Initially, their focus was on strengthening the left-back position, but now they are looking into acquiring a central defender during the upcoming transfer window.

Several factors have contributed to this change. Firstly, the imminent departure of Nacho Fernandez, a longstanding pillar in Real Madrid’s defense for more than a decade, has created a need for a center-back. Nacho’s decision to leave the club after this season has been communicated to the board, prompting proactive measures to fortify the defensive line. Moreover, David Alaba’s injury in December has raised concerns about his fitness, with his return to full form not anticipated until at least October.

In light of these circumstances, Real Madrid have reportedly tempered their interest in Alphonso Davies. While the talented Canadian winger is still highly esteemed at Valdebebas, Madrid’s pursuit of him has been paused while they address other areas of the squad. Despite reportedly reaching a verbal agreement with Davies months ago, his potential arrival now depends on Ferland Mendy’s potential departure or until he becomes a free agent next year.

Leading Madrid’s defensive rejuvenation is 18-year-old French prospect Leny Yoro. Regarded as a prodigious talent by the club’s hierarchy, Yoro has emerged as the preferred choice to reinforce the backline. Initial discussions have commenced with the player’s representatives, although negotiations with Lille, his current club, are expected to be complex.

As critical decisions loom, encompassing both potential exits and arrivals, Real Madrid is braced for a transformative offseason as they aim to bolster their squad for the 2024-25 season. The impending arrival of Kylian Mbappe seems almost certain, leaving speculation about who else will join him at the Santiago Bernabeu ahead of the new campaign.
