Real Madrid will wait until the final days of the transfer window to make a move for the defender

Real Madrid have been left to reassess their defensive plans for next season after Leny Yoro's surprise decision to join Manchester United instead of waiting for Los Blancos took them by surprise. The line since then has been that they will not react hastily in the transfer market.

However, it has been said that they will consider “market opportunities” if they arise, one of which is mentioned it was Aymeric Laporte, although it seems likely that this will only happen if he drops his salary demands. It seems that his decision will depend mainly on the injured David Alaba, as revealed by Brand.

If the Austrian's recovery goes well from there, and his return continues to be projected for October or November, then they won't be moving for another central defender. If it seems that it will be prolonged more, then they will look at what they can do in the market, even if “without urgency”. Over the next three weeks, Carlo Ancelotti will also keep an additional eye on academy prospects in the post such as Raul Asencio, Jacobo Ramon and Joan Martinez to see if they can make the grade next season .

Alaba he was injured in early January 2024, but the anterior cruciate ligament also suffered complications, making his recovery longer than that of Eder Militao or Thibaut Courtois in all probability. At 32, Alaba is expected to be a key part of their defensive core in competition with Militao and Antonio Rudiger next season.
