Marca: Real Madrid defenders performed poorly in Club World Cup, and the club considers buying another central defender in the summer window
"Marca", Real Madrid is considering buying another central defender in the summer window.
Club World Cup is a test ground for verifying Real Madrid's central defender position, a position that has been disturbing the club over the past few months. Wyson has proved that he is indeed ready to be the team's main central defender, but there is a sea of doubts beside him. Just look at the performance of Asensio and Rudiger, as well as Alaba's injuries.
Recently, Konath's name surfaced again. His move to refuse to renew his contract with Liverpool opens up a possibility, but only if Liverpool is willing to sell and bring it to market. Discussions about the French central defender have already begun. Marca once reported that Real Madrid has long been paying close attention to him, with a year left on his contract, and Liverpool is reluctant to let him leave the team in a free or near-free manner like Arnold.
's 0-4 defeat in Paris was a torment and a heavy blow, and Florentino has always liked to make decisions after careful consideration. Just as the club insisted that changing coaches was necessary, the focus now is whether the good performance shown at certain moments in the game is real, or whether the team's true state is exposed against Paris Saint-Germain.
Even before the trip to the United States, Real Madrid did not rule out the possibility of introducing another central defender. It all depends on the responses given by existing players in the Club World Cup, and their performance in the end did not meet the standards. Although Militon made a comeback, he only made a debut in the overall game, and Kavajal is the same, so the reference value is limited.
Asencio and Rudiger made low-level mistakes, which also left scars and doubts. The summer transfer window has just opened, and Real Madrid has clearly realized the problem, and some players' performance is far from meeting expectations.
