Real Madrid missed out on signing Leny Yoro last summer, with the young centre-back eventually joining Manchester United
In the Yoro case, the Merengues had failed to match the offer sent to Lille. In the end, no central defender arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu, leaving Carlo Ancelotti short of options.
A new signing could arrive next summer, should it prove necessary. Real Madrid only have Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and David Alaba as options, so it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if an addition is sought.
120 million for Saliba?
If that happens, CaughtOffside claims Arsenal’s William Saliba could be an option. Real Madrid are keen on the Frenchman, who is regarded as one of the best centre-backs in the world.
However, it would not be easy for Real Madrid to sign Saliba, if he makes an approach. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also interested, but the biggest sticking point would be that Arsenal are demanding more than €120 million for a sale to take place.
