Neither Arnold Nor Davies: The Player Already on Real Madrid’s Radar
Real Madrid is considering the possibility of signing a relatively unknown player in the winter transfer market to strengthen their defense. However, this player is neither Trent Alexander-Arnold nor Alphonso Davies.
Although it would be a surprise, Real Madrid is not expected to make any major signings this winter. Instead, the situation will change in the summer, as the club has already laid out a clear strategy for their future signings.
Beyond well-known players like Florian Wirtz and Martín Zubimendi, the priority remains reinforcing and rejuvenating the defense. As a result, Real Madrid is already working on acquiring the services of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alphonso Davies, and potentially another central defender.
Regarding the English player, there is optimism, while the Canadian is starting to frustrate club officials due to his indecision. Reports from Germany claim that Davies prioritizes staying at Bayern Munich, leaving Florentino Pérez waiting for his decision. As for the central defender, there is no definitive target yet, but several names have been considered. One of them is Abdukodir Khusanov, a relatively unknown player to many.
“Scouts Have Been Sent to Watch Him” José Félix Díaz, a prominent journalist from Diario MARCA, confirmed that Real Madrid scouts have already watched Khusanov, a 20-year-old defender from Lens. The young player has shown impressive physical qualities, making him a good fit for the club’s recruitment policy. However, there is no exclusive interest in him yet. This contrasts with the situation at Manchester City, which is reportedly close to making an offer for him.
From January to the summer, many players will be on Real Madrid’s radar. Juni Calafat, the club’s head of scouting, and his team will have their work cut out for them. Their main task is clear: find and sign a generational central defender.
