Real Madrid planning to make three defensive signings in the summer

A major aspect of Real Madrid’s transfer plans heading into the summer window happens to be reinforcing the central defence before next season.

With David Alaba set to leave and Raul Asencio not a part of the team’s plans, Antonio Rudiger, Dean Huijsen and Eder Militao remain the only starting options in the department.

Of them, however, the Brazilian is now out for five months and has become an unreliable option in terms of fitness. With Rudiger also now 33 years of age, there is a serious deficiency of depth in defence.

A major overhaul

As confirmed by*El Chiringuito* in a recent report, Real Madrid are not only considering making only one signing in the department but intend to add significant depth in the position.

Their plan, thus, is to sign as many as three defenders in June to completely strengthen the backline. The president is fixated on improving the squad and sees it as a priority, and the defence is seen as one of the key areas.
