Real Madrid: Florentino Perez's plan to bolster the defense

While Real Madrid are expected to secure a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals tonight, Florentino Perez and his management team are already working on strengthening the squad's defense.

According to information from Cadena SER, the Real Madrid board has a plan on the table regarding the central defense for Álvaro Arbeloa's team. The outlet reports that the club has ramped up talks in recent days with several defenders, including a Bundesliga center-back whose name has not been disclosed.

The Spanish radio station also reports that it's entirely possible for two new signings to arrive in this area during the next summer transfer window, as shoring up the backline is the club's top priority. David Alaba is indeed expected to leave, and Antonio Rüdiger's future remains uncertain. It's shaping up to be a hotter-than-usual summer in Madrid.
