Neither Miguel Gutiérrez nor Theo Hernández, Real Madrid Have a Surprising 'plan B'

The sports department is expanding its scope of action to avoid a catastrophe in the summer of 2025

Real Madrid have very clear some of their objectives for the next summer transfer market . The big priority to reinforce the left-back is Alphonso Davies : the white executives have been working on his transfer since mid-2022 .

But this transfer is not the only one planned to expand the roster of footballers in that position. Aware that the arrival of the Canadian '19' as a free agent is a very fragile operation , the sports management has decided to avoid a new 'Yoro case' . They already have several footballers who would act as 'plan B' for the Bavarian squad player.

The list keeps growing . Although it is true that names such as Miguel Gutiérrez and Theo Hernández are at the top, the Premier League has reportedly left another name to be analyzed until the end of the season. Milos Kerkez is the new interest of the Madrid executives, information confirmed by 'Bernabéu Digital' .

This online newspaper has made it clear that the offices of Valdebebas have set their sights on the Bournemouth defender trained by Andoni Iraola . At just 21 years old , he has achieved an important place among all the footballers followed by Juni Calafat's scouting team. The first reports on his performance are 'sweeping' the Merengue leadership.

More Competition for the Position

Despite the good telemetry of his 24/25 season, "the white club hasn't made any move and hasn't contacted either the player's entourage or Bournemouth" . 'Bernabéu Digital' points out that "it is a distant option that Santiago Bernabéu don't want to lose sight of" for what may happen until the month of July.

This means that other players such as Miguel Gutiérrez wouldn't be so sure of returning to Santiago Bernabéu. It also opens up an important debate about those who are already in the white locker room: FranGarcía is being a little better than the recently renewed Ferland Mendy .

With the '20' from Castilla-La Mancha ahead of the '23' from France, Real Madrid could consider selling the latter . This operation, with a transfer fee never exceeding 50 million euros , would give the executives room to manoeuvre to hire the next left-back in the squad.

The fit in this area has become considerably more complicated in recent times. With many players waiting and willing to wear the white jersey if they are called, only time and a meticulous study of all the options will solve this dilemma .
