Real Madrid poised for a ‘huge’ summer transfer window – Romano | OneFootball

Even though Real Madrid have managed to pull together a string of victories in La Liga, their recent performances have once again led to doubts within the upper management.

Real Madrid notably lost 4-2 to SL Benfica in the Champions League and had to rely on a late penalty from Kylian Mbappe to secure a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

This has put pressure on Alvaro Arbeloa, while the upper management is now growing increasingly keen on shoring up the team in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Recent reports have indicated that Real Madrid are seriously looking to bolster their ranks in the defensive department, with Juni Calafat monitoring two Bundesliga stars in Nico Schlotterbeck and Castello Lukeba.

According to Romano, one of Real Madrid’s priorities in the summer will be to reinforce the defensive unit, especially with David Alaba set to leave and Antonio Rudiger facing an uncertain future at the club.

Romano adds that Los Merengues are also keen on shoring up their ranks in midfield, as the club have quite clearly struggled to cope without the services of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.

The club will be particularly keen on signing a new defensive midfielder who can control the tempo in the middle of the park, which is perhaps they have been linked with moves for players like Kees Smit and Adam Wharton.
