Actual Madrid’s important intention will probably be bolster their defensive lineup through the winter switch window
La Liga giants Real Madrid are currently placed second in the league, a point shy of rivals Atletico Madrid. But come the winter transfer window, Los Blancos will be eyeing to reinforce their squad. The Madrid giants have been crippled with extensive injuries.
Among the top names that have been reported in the media is Real Madrid needs defensive reinforcements. And Aymeric Laporte is the first name on the list. The former Manchester City and current Al Nassr defender has been touted by the Spanish giants along with the likes of Jonathan Tah and Miguel Gutierrez.
Aymeric Laporte (Al-Nassr)
The La Loga champions are desperate to land Aymeric Laporte in Madrid from Riyadh. The former Manchester City center-back has been flourishing really well in the Saudi Pro League. And Real Madrid sees him as a potential replacement for the injured Eder Militao.
The former French and current Spanish National team defender is an excellent ball-playing defender and is leadership capabilities separate him from the rest. Furthermore, Madrid will also be heavily reliant on the heaps of experience that Laporte carries with him.
Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen)
Another defender who has been on the radar of Los Blancos is Jonathan Tah. The Bayern Leverkusen defender is in the last season of his contract and will be a free agent in the upcoming summer. This can be a perfect opportunity for the Madrid side to rope in the defender for a cut-price deal before he finds multiple suitors in the summer.
Miguel Gutierrez (Girona)
The defense will be the only department that Real Madrid is targeting in this transfer window. The Spanish side has also been hugely impressed with Miguel Gutierrez’s spell with Girona. As a backup replacement, the player can be a cost-effective buy for the club. This is mainly owing to the fact that Madrid has a €8 million buy-back clause in his contract. In a season where the defensive line has been plagued with injuries, a cut-priced deal can work wonders for the team.
