Real Madrid wants Arsenal man to replace Dani Carvajal

Real Madrid are reportedly planning further squad improvements this summer and have now identified Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber as a potential transfer target. After previously showing long-term interest in William Saliba without securing a deal, the Spanish club are said to have turned their attention to another player at the Emirates.

Madrid are expected to end the season without a trophy, prompting fresh plans to strengthen key areas of the squad. As a result, they are believed to be assessing options across Europe who could raise the level of the team ahead of next term.

Timber Emerges As Target

Arsenal’s Timber has now been linked with a possible move to the Bernabeu. The Dutch international has impressed with his reliability and versatility, qualities that would make him attractive to any elite side seeking defensive reinforcements.

According to Fichajes, Real Madrid view Timber as the ideal successor to Dani Carvajal. The veteran full-back is reportedly expected to leave at the end of the campaign after many successful years with the Spanish giants.

Timber’s ability to operate in multiple defensive roles could make him a particularly valuable option. His composure on the ball and tactical intelligence have helped establish him as an important figure at Arsenal.
