Real Madrid makes these two players its top priority for the 2026 transfer window

Planning ahead to stay on top: that seems to be Florentino Pérez's strategy. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Real Madrid president is already preparing for the future by working on bringing in a new center-back for the summer of 2026. Among the targets being monitored, Marc Guehi has reportedly expressed his desire to join Los Blancos, enticed by the prospect of playing under Carlo Ancelotti. Another credible option is Ibrahima Konaté, whose contract extension with Liverpool seemed close before negotiations collapsed. The Frenchman is now said to be in Madrid's plans to bolster a strategically important defensive line.
