Real Madrid is putting together a powerful roster for the future. From the defense to the front line, the club is loaded with world-class talent. The club undoubtedly intends to construct a team that has the potential to be one of the finest in Europe not just today, but for many years to come
The defense is one component of the team that seems to be deficient in a few locations. Real Madrid have been linked with offers for Alphonso Davies and Reece James, but players like Ferland Mendy and Dani Carvajal’s futures are uncertain
When it comes to the centre-back position, Eder Militao is seen as Real Madrid’s future. However, he is now sidelined with a significant injury, and it will be fascinating to see whether this has any long-term consequences on his playing
David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Nacho Fernandez are the other choices at center back. All three are above 30, and they are not long-term options for the job
Real Madrid is considering a January deal for a €60 million defender
According to AS, Real Madrid are aiming to sign Sporting de Portugal midfielder Goncalo Inacio in January. The defender has been on their radar for a few months, and they are now ready to make a formal offer
The Portuguese defender is exactly the kind of player Real Madrid is looking for as a long-term centre-back partner for Militao. Inacio is a 22-year-old left-footed centre-back who might play alongside the Brazilian for a long time
Inacio’s current contract with Sporting CP is said to have a €60 million release clause. Real Madrid may face competition for his signing from Liverpool and Manchester United, but Los Blancos seem to be hoping that a January move for the defender would help them win the race
