Really leaving Real Madrid, the club's hierarchy will need to decide whether or not to bolster the team's backline.
Currently, Real Madrid's backline is not in good shape. Both Alaba and Militang suffered cruciate ligament injuries last season, and it remains to be seen whether they can return to their best form. Apart from Rüdiger, there are no other center backs in the Real Madrid lineup who are completely immune to injury problems. Also under consideration are youngsters Marin and Vallejo, but experience and consistency may still need to be improved.
After Alaba's injury, Real Madrid has tried to let Joan Armeni guest center back position, this temporary solution in the short term to provide an emergency solution, but not a long-term solution. To ensure the stability of the defense in the new season, Real Madrid must find a more reliable solution.
Lille's young defender Yoro has been seen as a target player by Real Madrid. Yoro's starting price is around 50 million euros, and not only Real Madrid is interested in him, but many European teams are also keeping an eye on his performance. Earlier this week, Yolo's agent traveled to Madrid and met with Real Madrid executives to further discuss the possibility of a transfer.
If Nacho leaves, the Real Madrid hierarchy will be faced with the decision of whether or not to bring in Yoro. Yoro's arrival would provide more depth and youthful energy to Real Madrid's backline, as well as laying a solid defensive foundation for the team for years to come. However, considering Yolo's price tag and the competition from other teams, Real Madrid will need to make a decision soon.
