Real Madrid put on its radar three of the most prominent French defenders in Europe, in preparation for strengthening its back line in the next stage.
According to the Spanish newspaper “AS”, the list of “Merengue” interests includes: Diot Obamikano from Bayern Munich, Brahimi Conte from Liverpool, and William Saliba from Arsenal.
Why is Obamikano the most realistic option?
Obamikano currently seems to be the closest goal of the investigation, due to the end of his contract in the summer of 2026, which means that he will be available at a low or free price before the end of his contract. It is a scenario similar to what happened with David Alaba, who joined Real Madrid from Bayern Munich without the cost of moving. This deal is consistent with the policy of the Royal Club to seize senior players without paying huge sums.
What about my universality? Did he agreed previously on the transition?
On the other hand, Liverpool defender Abrahama Conte on the Real Madrid administration radar, especially after he expressed his initial approval to move last summer. It remains in his contract about a year and a half (ends in 2026), which makes his position negotiable.
Konati has international experience and physical ability, which makes him an attractive choice, especially if he does not renew his contract soon with Liverpool.
Why Saliba is the most difficult option?
Arsenal defender William Saliba is the most difficult candidate within the trio, due to the recent renewal of his contract in July 2023 until the summer of 2027, and its high market value is 80 million euros. Arsenal and coach Michel Artita stuck to him as an essential element in the team’s sports project, along with Gabriel Maglales.
Consequently, any attempt by Real Madrid to annex it will require complex negotiations and a high financial cost.
What is the background of the Real Dimaria policy recently?
In recent years, Real Madrid depends on the inclusion of defenders at a low cost or free deals, which appeared in the free Alaba deal, and included the two young defenders, Dean Hoisin and Alvaro Carreras, despite being one of the most expensive defensive contracts in the club’s history.
