Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their centre of defence and William Saliba is the favourite. ‘Plan B’: Lisandro Mart\u00ednez, from Manchester United<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Real Madrid’s<\/strong> terrible squad planning last summer has been exposed in this first half of the season. The plague of injuries has punished a team without replacements and with a very limited squad, so the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u is working to resolve this situation.<\/p>

One of the most depleted positions in the team led by Carlo Ancelotti<\/strong> is the centre of defence, which currently has the absences of Eder Militao<\/strong> and David Alaba<\/strong> due to injury. Although the emergence of Ra\u00fal Asencio<\/strong> has put out the fire slightly, the reality is that the squad needs some reinforcement in this area of \u200b\u200bthe field and Florentino P\u00e9rez<\/strong> has already set his sights on two candidates.<\/p>

Madrid has its sights on two Premier League centre-backs<\/h3>

According to ‘SPORT’, the favourite of the Merengue sports management is William Saliba<\/a>, a defender who has established himself as one of the best in the world at Arsenal<\/strong>. Madrid are keeping a close eye on him, but his contract until 2027 and his desire to continue under Mikel Arteta<\/strong> make his signing more of a utopia than a real possibility.<\/p>

For this reason, Los Blancos have reportedly noted the name of Lisandro Mart\u00ednez<\/strong> as a ‘plan B’ for the Frenchman. The transfer of the Argentine would be more affordable financially and the club could count on the footballer’s approval if they decide to go for his signing, although negotiations with Manchester United<\/strong> would be very complex since the centre-back aims to be a pillar of R\u00faben Amorim’s<\/strong> new project.<\/p>

In any case, the Madrid board accepts its tremendous error and has set to work in search of a reliable defender who can lead the centre of defence in the short and medium term, so there are a few hectic months ahead in Chamart\u00edn.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
