Neither Varane nor Alphonso Davies, the defender that Real Madrid would urgently look for

Real Madrid is going through a spectacular moment in the season, as they closed 2023 in first place in La Liga, tied on points with Girona, but seven points above FC Barcelona, their greatest rival. Today, Real Madrid has a bigger problem, injuries, and more specifically, injuries in defense.

Starting the season six months ago, Real Madrid suffered an injury to Eder Militao, so only Nacho, Alaba and Rudiger were available. Just a couple of weeks ago, Alaba also got a long-term injury, so only Nacho and Rudiger were left... Given this, a problem remains exposed, and the solution seems to be to sign a defenseman asap.

It is a reality that Real Madrid wants Alphonso Davies, as he is one of the best defenders in the world. However, he is very expensive and his salary is even more so. Now, a new name has emerged, a cheaper and younger central defender, with a lot of potential. This is Juanlu.

Juanlu currently plays for Sevilla, he is 20 years old and costs less than 10 million euros. Thus, the full-back has become Real Madrid's main objective in the short term, well, we are talking about that in just a period of weeks, he could already be in the team.
