Real Madrid’s Board Concerned About Center-Back Position Despite Successful Season
Real Madrid has enjoyed a successful season thus far, but concerns are growing within the club’s board, focusing on a specific position in the first team. Surprisingly, it’s not the striker role that is causing worry; instead, it’s the center-back position that has captured the hierarchy’s attention.
According to reports from Diario AS, Real Madrid’s top brass is expressing apprehension about the uncertainties surrounding the center-back position. These concerns encompass the subpar performances of David Alaba during the current season, along with speculations regarding the future of club captain Nacho Fernandez. Additionally, there are reservations about whether Eder Militao will return to his pre-ACL injury form.
The report also highlights worries about the development of Rafa Marin and Jesus Vallejo, both of whom are currently on loan at Alaves and Granada, respectively. Vallejo, in particular, is not expected to meet the standards required for the Real Madrid first team.
In response to these concerns, Real Madrid has begun exploring the possibility of signing a new center-back, leading to recent links with Goncalo Inacio. The coming months will be pivotal in determining how these situations evolve and whether the club opts to reinforce its center-back position.
