Leipzig Forces Florentino to Act: They Might Take a Transfer from Real Madrid

The German team has focused its interest on Juanlu Sánchez, Sevilla's right wing, who's a candidate to replace Carvajal

Real Madrid is urgently searching for Dani Carvajal's successor. Among the options, the name of Juanlu Sánchez, Sevilla's winger, has gained strength in the last season.

At just 21 years old, Juanlu is one of the great promises of Spanish soccer. His contract with Sevilla extends until 2026, but his future could become complicated for the white team.

Leipzig ready to step in

RB Leipzig has set its sights on Juanlu Sánchez. According to Radio Sevilla, the German club is preparing a offer that includes a loan with a purchase option. It's even suggested that this clause be mandatory.

This maneuver could distance the winger from Concha Espina. The Nervión team has the decision-making power, but Leipzig's interest could force Madrid to speed up negotiations.

Florentino and his "A" plan

Real Madrid's main target remains Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool full-back would be a safe bet to compete directly with Carvajal.

However, securing his transfer won't be easy or cheap. This makes Juanlu Sánchez remain an alternative plan, but an attractive one for the club's future.

The young Sevilla player is causing a sensation in the market. His performance and projection have caught the attention not only of Real Madrid but also of other European clubs.

Florentino Pérez must decide whether to bet on Juanlu now or risk losing him to Leipzig. In such a competitive market, every move counts.

What will Madrid do?

Leipzig's interest forces Real Madrid to act quickly. If Florentino doesn't close the transfer soon, he could lose one of the most promising full-backs in Spanish soccer.

With Carvajal injured and the need to renew the team, securing a quality replacement is a priority. Will Florentino bet on Juanlu or keep his focus on Alexander-Arnold?

The outcome could shape the future of the right-back position at the white club.
