As Real Madrid Looks to Address Squad Gaps, Right-Back Position Lingers

Real Madrid finds itself grappling with several gaps in their squad, with the injuries to Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao underscoring the immediate need for reinforcements. The recent loan signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga offers a temporary solution, and the possibility of bolstering the center-back position remains under consideration. However, other areas on the field require attention as well.

The right-back position has emerged as a particular concern. Dani Carvajal’s form has seen a decline, prompting the realization that the player of yesteryears is no longer present. Yet, the squad lacks a true backup for this position.

Real Madrid’s need for a new right-back has been apparent for some time. Despite this, the club appears to have prioritized strengthening in other positions, leaving the right flank unattended.

Various right-back options have been linked to the club in recent months, and one of them is Ivan Fresneda of Real Valladolid. Regarded as one of the most promising young talents in Spanish football, Fresneda’s future seemed to hinge on a potential move to Barcelona.

ESPN reports that Fresneda is keeping a close watch on Barcelona’s interest before making a decision about his future. The 18-year-old Real Valladolid player has already expressed willingness to join the Catalan club. However, uncertainties linger within Camp Nou regarding the signing of the right-back, as Barcelona also contemplates Joao Cancelo as an alternative option.

Considering Real Madrid’s stance, it appears unlikely that they will pursue Fresneda this summer, despite the ongoing rumors. It’s probable that Carvajal will continue to be the preferred choice for the right-back position.

As Real Madrid navigates its strategy to address the squad gaps, particularly in light of the right-back conundrum, fans and observers await developments to see how the club shapes its squad for the challenges ahead.
