Real Madrid is monitoring the transfer market of central players with an eye to the summer off-season, reports ESPN.

The “royal club” has a difficult situation in defense due to injuries and possible personnel losses in the near future.

According to Gerel, Madrid considered the possibility of signing Ibrahim Konate from Liverpool, Dayot Upamekan from Bayern and Marc Gueja from Cristal Peles, but Real Madrid has decided on these options.

The club's area of \u200b\u200binterest includes two other players: Nico Schlotterbeck from Borussia Dortmund and Jeremiah Jacquet from Rennes..

The German center back has a contract until 2027 and has not yet extended his agreement with Borussia, which could forgive his potential transfer. Frenchman Jacquet, in his own way, won the respect of Real Madrid scouts by competing for Rennes and the French youth team, although his contract runs until 2029.

Also, Real does not forget about the Vlasna Academy. The club is keen to follow the progress of Joan Martinez from Castilla and Jacobo Ramon, who plays for Como. The contract still has a call-up option for approximately 8 million euros as early as this summer.
