Ancelotti's Favorite Defender if Bastoni Doesn't Come, Madrid Has It Almost Done

Carlo Ancelotti has been one of Real Madrid's most important coaches and is currently the Whites' biggest winner. Therefore, talking about this figure and his requests to the club seems to be something extremely important for their development. Right now, in terms of defense, he seems to have a very clear prospect regardless of his favorite.

While it is true and known that Ancelotti's big request is Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan, there's another name that could be an option. We are referring to the former Real Madrid academy player, Mario Gila, who could quickly position himself to return. An option that convinces the board due to the cost of the transfer and the fact that he already knows the club.

This way, they could have a clear replacement in the defensive sector immediately.  And with relative ease, develop a more solid soccer from the moment he arrives.

A very interesting option B

With some outstanding performances, the current Lazio player has shown great things during his time in Italy's Serie A. At just 24 years of age, he has a to offer for the future and especially for the Meringues' present.

This season he has played more than 1200 minutes in 18 games, consolidating himself as an important part of the capital club. It is necessary to evaluate the possibility of his return to the white team after having left in 2022.

His contract ties him to the Italian club until 2027, so his departure might not be so complicated. In addition, an approximate market value of 28 million euros makes it a viable and economical operation.

We will see what the final decision is

The board knows perfectly well that they have to make a decision regarding this transfer as soon as possible, as they could have a lot of competition soon. Even though the Inter player is the Italian's top preference, he also seems to be convinced by him. But if they want to avoid problems, they must do it soon to consolidate the team once and for all.
