Real Madrid are reported to be looking to strengthen their defensive team with Cristian Romero and Jarrard Branthwaite being priority targets for recruitment.
As current defenders David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger approach retirement age, Real Madrid are eager to find suitable replacements quickly. Romero and Branthwaite, two experienced Premier League performers for Tottenham Hotspur and Everton respectively have come under consideration as potential solutions. Real Madrid hopes they can add these promising young defenders during January transfer window as part of its defensive plans.
Cristian Romero had initially hesitated about moving, yet now sees Real Madrid as an appealing offer despite Tottenham’s attempts to retain him and maintain their current agreement. On the other hand, English defender Jarrad Branthwaite has caught Real Madrid’s eye due to his remarkable performances while young; Manchester United have also shown interest indicating its significance on the transfer market.
Real Madrid Could Secure Duo in January
Real Madrid has not taken formal steps toward signing either player; yet anticipation mounts of possible moves during January’s window. Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s manager has stressed the need for new signings in order to strengthen defense; Romero and Branthwaite would significantly boost Real Madrid’s lineup; though doing so would likely require significant investment.
