TA talks about Real Madrid defender signing targets: Arnold, Saliba, Wyson, Lukeba and Harto are among the list

May 3: At the end of the season, all four regular main players in Real Madrid's defense suffered injuries, including Carvajal, Rudiger, Militon and Ferran Mendy. With the summer transfer window approaching, Theanthletic talks about the Real Madrid defender's signings.

After Carvajal and Militon were injured late last year, the Real Madrid board told Ancelotti would sign a right-back and a central defender in the next two transfer windows.

In January this year, Real Madrid tried to sign Arnold in advance but failed, but the Liverpool defender is expected to join as free agent this summer. In March, Real Madrid's board of directors told Ancelotti that the defender would join this summer.

As for the central defender, Arsenal's Saliba is very popular, but since the contract between the central defender and the Gunners will expire in 2027, it is unlikely to join this summer. Bournemouth's Wyson is also one of the candidates for signing, but his 50 million euro termination fee has discouraged Real Madrid. It is reported that Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham are also very interested in the young central defender. According to sources close to Wyson, he will decide his future after the season is over.

Other defenders who have been rumored to have a scandal with Real Madrid include Lukeba of Leipzig and Hato of Ajax. Lukeba's termination amount is 90 million euros, but there is an agreement to allow him to leave the team at a lower transfer fee this summer, and many Premier League clubs have shown interest in him.

Leverkusen's Jonatan Ta had negotiated with Barcelona for joining conditions, and recommended himself to Real Madrid a few months ago but was rejected. However, sources close to the German central defender revealed that if Alonso becomes Real Madrid's next head coach, he may follow the Spanish coach to join Real Madrid.

In the left-back position, Real Madrid admires Benfica's Alvaro Carreras very much, but his 50 million euro termination fee may become a barrier. Another player who has attracted much attention is Bournemouth's Kolkz, but the opponent has to add about £45 million.
