Press reports revealed that Real Madrid officials have revealed that the club's management is already prepared to let go of one or two of the team's most prominent central defenders. This move could come about because Real Madrid has already signed several players to bolster its defensive line, including Arnold and Dean.
Real Madrid appears ready to part ways with defensive duo Ferland Mendy and David Alaba this summer, according to The Athletic. The veteran defenders now find themselves in vulnerable positions following the arrivals of young talents Álvaro Carreras and Dean Huijsen, who have leapfrogged them in Xabi Alonso's defensive hierarchy.
Persistent fitness issues have further complicated matters for both players, making their potential departures increasingly likely. Club sources reportedly favor moving on either Alaba or Mendy, though Real Madrid officials remain doubtful about finding suitable buyers for the experienced defenders in the current market.
