Real Madrid continues to plan for the future of defending the White Club, as it aims to sign deals of the highest level in order to strengthen the team during local and continental football competitions.
In this context, Spanish press sources revealed that Real Madrid will enter into a fierce competition with rival Barcelona in order to sign one of the distinguished defensive deals during the upcoming summer Mercato.
Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, wants to strengthen some of the team’s positions with new deals, as part of the plan to form the golden generation of Merengue, which comes at the forefront of the inclusion of the duo, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Halland.
And the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of the Royal Club, faced a major defensive crisis, after Vallejo departed from his calculations, and the permanent reliance on the duo of Alaba and Militao, which causes many stresses for players due to the succession of matches.
According to the Spanish newspaper, “Marca”, Real Madrid showed a great desire to include Matthias de Ligt, the Italian Juventus star, who is closely monitored by his rival Barcelona, who seeks to end the deal next summer.
The newspaper said that Perez plans to pounce on the 22-year-old Dutch defender’s deal in the next summer Mercato.
The newspaper reported that De Ligt was close to moving to Barcelona before Juventus, but Pique’s words frustrated him when he informed him that he would not play much with the Catalan team and made him turn his destination to the old lady’s club.
De Ligt moved to Juventus in 2019, coming from Ajax Amsterdam, and has a contract with the Italian club that ends in the summer of 2022.
The Madrid giant fell into the positive trap of a draw against its host Villarreal with one goal for each team, within the framework of the twenty-fourth round of the Spanish Premier League, which leads its royal standings with 54 points.
