Real Madrid not planning to spend big on a center-back this summer

Real Madrid is currently facing significant issues in central defense, but club president Florentino Pérez and his board made no major moves to address them in the winter transfer window. It now appears that the situation won’t change in the summer either.

Details: According to Marca, Real Madrid will not make a major signing at center-back before the new season. Instead, Los Blancos plan to rely on their existing resources, particularly with several promising young defenders emerging from the club’s academy this season.

However, the final decision will depend on how David Alaba recovers from his injury and whether Éder Militão can return to form after undergoing two knee surgeries.

Reminder: Previous reports suggested that Real Madrid is willing to offer Virgil van Dijk a one-year contract. However, his signing would not require excessive spending, as he could potentially be acquired on a free transfer.
