Real Madrid is exploring options for a right-back, including Chelsea’s star, amid ongoing defensive struggles this season.
They tried to get Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool but got turned down. Now, they’re looking at other options. Reports say they might even make a move in January.
The coaching staff thinks they really need someone, but the board is a bit hesitant. They’re only considering loan deals or cheaper players, which rules out some big names.
Two players on their radar are Alex Jimenez and Reece James. James could be a gamble because of his injury history, but he’s the club captain, so who knows?
Jimenez is only 19 and used to play for Real before moving to AC Milan. He’s been doing well there, so he could be a solid choice.
Interestingly, they’re also looking at Serge Aurier, who’s a free agent now. He could be a quick fix.
It’s a bit of a mixed bag for Real fans. While they’re looking for a right-back now, it seems like they have bigger plans for the summer. Let’s see how this plays out!
