Real Madrid’s pursuit underscores their urgent need for defensive reinforcements, exacerbated by Nacho Fernandez’s departure and concerns over Eder Militão’s recovery post-ACL injury.
David Alaba’s injury woes add to Madrid’s defensive uncertainties, prompting them to consider options like Lille’s Leny Yoro alongside Calafiori.
The club’s proactive stance in bolstering their backline highlights their commitment to addressing defensive frailties ahead of the new season.
Real Madrid will make it clear in the coming days whether they will bid for Riccardo Calafiori this summer or wait for a while before bidding for him.
