The Real Madrid center-back situation is currently a noteworthy concern. Eder Militao’s season-long absence due to an ACL injury in the first match against Athletic Bilbao has left Carlo Ancelotti with three remaining options: Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Nacho Fernandez. All three of these players are over 30 years old, and doubts have arisen regarding their recent performances. Nonetheless, it is undeniable that Real Madrid has shown defensive improvement this season.
In the first nine La Liga matches of the season, they have only conceded six goals, which is a significant improvement compared to the 36 goals conceded in 38 matches last season. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be surprising if the club considers acquiring a young center-back in the near future, and it appears that they have their sights set on one of AC Milan’s regular starters.
Real Madrid ready to complete transfer for AC Milan player
Real Madrid have targeted Malick Thiaw for next season, according to Mundo Deportivo. According to reports in Italy, the Spanish giants are willing to pay €20 million for the AC Milan center-back.
Thiaw is presently playing for AC Milan, where he has established himself as a regular starter. He is a German international as well.
Thiaw joined AC Milan from Schalke in the summer of 2022 for a fee believed to be around €7 million. It’s difficult to envision them wanting to let a regular starter, who is only 22 years old, go for a price around €20.
It remains to be seen if Real Madrid do indeed end up making a move for Thiaw in the future. The German international would be a solid addition to this squad for sure.
