Real Madrid in Search of Young Defender

Real Madrid is planning to strengthen its defensive lineup in 2026. The "Royal Club" is focusing not only on free-agent superstar players but also on young and talented footballers.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the Real Madrid management is aiming to add a highly potential central defender to their roster. One of their primary candidates is Jérémy Jacquet, a 20-year-old player from France's Rennes club, who has already attracted interest.

On Sunday, Real Madrid will face Alavés away in the 17th round of the Spanish La Liga. If a loss or draw occurs in this match, there is a possibility that head coach Xabi Alonso may face dismissal.
