All signs suggest that the summer of 2025 will be monumental for Real Madrid in terms of transfer market activity, with increasing details emerging in the media.
Details: According to The Independent, Real Madrid's top priority will be reinforcing their central defense, a position they were unable to strengthen last summer despite Carlo Ancelotti's wishes.
The Spanish champions are particularly keen on signing Arsenal's key center-back William Saliba, but his transfer fee might prove too steep due to the Frenchman's young age and his crucial role at Arsenal.
Should negotiations falter, Tottenham's Cristian Romero is seen as a viable alternative.
Real Madrid also remains interested in Liverpool's right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who could become a free agent in the summer of 2025.
Reminder: It was recently reported that Real Madrid is heavily interested in Manchester City's Rodri but is unwilling to meet the current asking price.
