Real Madrid will go crazy to sign a center back: 3 top names on the radar

Real Madrid has set its sights on three elite defenders to strengthen its defense in the upcoming summer transfer market, where it is willing to make a significant investment to sign one of the best in the world. William Saliba, Alessandro Bastoni, and Ousmane Diomande are the names leading the list of possible additions, in a strategic move to solve the defensive problems arising from the constant injuries of Eder Militao and David Alaba in recent seasons.  

-William Saliba: Among the targets, William Saliba stands out, the young French center-back from Arsenal who, at 23, has established himself as one of the defensive pillars of the Premier League. With a contract until 2027, his talent for anticipation and ability to play out from the back make him an attractive option for the white club.  

-Alessandro Bastoni: Another heavyweight candidate is Alessandro Bastoni, a standout figure at Inter Milan and considered the best center-back in Serie A. At 25, the Italian combines experience and defensive solidity, qualities that fit the demands of Real Madrid. Although his bond with Inter extends until 2028, his quality keeps him in the orbit of the top European teams.  

Diomande, the third option

-Ousmane Diomande: Finally, the young 21-year-old Ousmane Diomande has impressed at Sporting de Lisboa, where he is already recognized as one of the center-backs with the highest potential worldwide. With a contract until 2027, his physical and technical profile would be a long-term bet for the 'merengues.'  

Real Madrid's intention is to incorporate a center-back who ensures stability and immediate performance while reinforcing the foundations of the team's defensive future. The challenge will now be to negotiate with clubs that are unlikely to let go of their stars without demanding significant sums. The next transfer window promises to be crucial for Madrid's planning.
