Two out, two in: Real Madrid set for a defensive overhaul with two massive signings | OneFootball

With the defensive injuries that Real Madrid have been facing in recent weeks, the club have been given the opportunity to look introspectively at their squad and see how they can improve.

With that in mind, the club have two new signings in mind, and even know who they might sell in order to make way for the new arrivals.

As per Cadena SER, Alongside the well-publicised rumours of Alphonso Davies’ arrival, the club could also look to bring back former academy prospect Miguel Gutiérrez back to the club, completely overhauling the left-back position.

To facilitate these moves, Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia could both face the exit door in a total refresh of Los Blancos’ left-back position.

These rumours come amidst the news that centre-back Eder Militão is facing surgery for his ACL injury, keeping him out for the season.

With a move for Alphonso Davies all but secured, all that would be left to do is secure the signature of Gutiérrez, who is currently on the books at Girona.

However this is made simple by the fact that Real have a buyback clause, meaning he could move back to the Bernabéu for as little as €8 million.
