Real Madrid are one of the most financially affected clubs in the ongoing global pandemic and it will be interesting to see how the Whites go about their transfer business in the coming summer. In recent matches, it has been made evidently clear that there are certain aspects of the game where Madrid are not up to the mark and they will want to address these critical areas at the earliest.
One such aspect which requires the attention of the Real Madrid hierarchy is the defence. The Whites seem to be approaching a new era in their defensive sphere with Sergio Ramos and Marcelo both bound to leave the club in the near future. With Ramos already 34 and his dealing running out very soon, Zidane & Co. need to get into the hunt for a central defender at the earliest.
We at The 4th Official analyse a couple of sensible transfers for Real Madrid which will help them out massively in the short run as well as in the long run –
Real Madrid Transfer News
Jules Kounde
Jules Kounde has emerged as one of the most interesting young talents in La Liga this season. The Sevilla defender will be a hot commodity this summer with several teams seeking for his signature. The 22-year-old Frenchman is brilliant with the ball at his feet and has a passing accuracy of 91%.
Sevilla are well aware of the asset at their hands and will not let go off Kounde for a small sum of money, a mistake that Valencia made with the transfer of Fernan Torres to Manchester City. Kounde has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the past by Defensa Central and it will be interesting to see how this transfer works out.
David Alaba
The Bayern Munich defender has found it difficult to agree on terms with his current employer and with his current deal ending in June, it seems like the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to capitalise on the situation. The defender can be played centrally as well as on the left-back position. Alaba’s versatility would be a huge bonus for Real Madrid who already possess a highly productive utility player in Nacho Fernandez. Alaba would be an excellent acquisition for Real Madrid given the current scenario. What the summer holds in store for the defender is yet to be seen.
