Real Madrid are looking for a new central player for this summer. Because Eder Militao has not curdled, and has offered a very discreet performance. He has not justified the 50 million euros that Porto paid for him just over a year ago, and Zinedine Zidane has already made the cross for him. And he has asked Florentino Pérez to sell to the highest bidder whenever possible.
And in his plans there does not seem to be a place for Nacho Fernández, who already has several courses in the first team. However, its importance has declined significantly with the passing of the campaigns, and right now it has a completely residual role. They need a guarantee alternative for Sergio Ramos and Raphaël Varane, indisputable holders.
There is space on the agenda for several proper names, but the one that most seems to seduce the French coach, or one of the most, is Dayot Upamecano. For starters, because of his age, 21 years, and the great progression and the margin of improvement that lies ahead. And despite his youth, he already has a wealth of experience behind him, both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League.
He is a key player at RB Leipzig, which he came from his Austrian affiliate Red Bull Salzburg. It has not stopped growing, and has attracted the attention of other great clubs such as Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea or Manchester United. All have succumbed to its charms, and to the great virtues it has.
He is fast, tall, strong, forceful, he has a good ball out … in Madrid they are convinced that it would fit like a glove, and they are willing to pay the 60 ‘kilos’ that their freedom would cost.
It is a fairly large amount, but not unaffordable.
