Real Madrid targets multiple players ahead of summer transfer window

Real Madrid are intensifying efforts to reinforce their defense ahead of the upcoming season, targeting multiple players across Europe. The club has made an initial approach to sign Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, aiming to secure his arrival before the Club World Cup due to a shortage of specialist right-backs caused by injuries. Additionally, Real Madrid are pursuing Benfica's Alvaro Carreras as a left-back solution and are exploring alternative options like Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen after setbacks in chasing other top targets. The Spanish giants are also monitoring Real Sociedad's Jon Aramburu and have a long-term interest in Arsenal's William Saliba, though Arsenal currently have the upper hand in retaining their defender. These moves come amid concerns about Real Madrid’s current defensive lineup and a desire to address weaknesses exposed in recent competitions. The club’s transfer strategy reflects both immediate needs and a focus on securing generational talents for the future.
