The 2-for-1 in central defenders is one of the most striking proposals Real Madrid is planning for the summer

Injuries have once again been one of the biggest problems for Real Madrid this season. The defense, in particular, was the most affected position, becoming weaker than ever with Militão's injury. Despite not making any moves to sign reinforcements this winter market, the club plans to act next summer.

The targets for this market are the young Dean Huijsen and Cristhian Mosquera. The first of them has been standing out in a good way at Bournemouth, gaining more and more prominence. Beginning to unleash his potential, the Spanish center-back has been seen as a quality reinforcement for the defense.

Meanwhile, Mosquera, the center-back, has been developing in LaLiga with Valencia. Despite fighting to avoid relegation this season, the Spaniard is one of the few redeemable aspects of the club. His age and talent provide a notable future projection that has interested Real Madrid.

The renewal of the defense

Real Madrid's defense has always stood out for being a complete wall for opponents. Although it still has quality center-backs, the club is aware of the need to start renewing. For this reason, both the signing of Dean and Mosquera have been prioritized for next summer.

Playing 1,420 minutes at 19 years old, Dean has made good progress in a league as competitive as the Premier League. Despite just arriving at the club this season, this could be his last if he continues to improve his outstanding level.

Having trained in Valencia's youth academy since 2019, Mosquera has become an indispensable piece for the club. Despite being 20 years old, the 2,085 minutes he has played show his importance for a team fighting to stay in the first division.

Real Madrid's candidates

With a few months of competition remaining, Real Madrid has time to determine the future of both players. What is certain is that, under no circumstances, will the club go through the next season without having strengthened its defense.
