Real Madrid is Short on Defense, but is Hearing Offers for Two Central Defenders

Madrid has no other option and will listen to offers for these two players in the team

Since the start of the season, the Real Madrid team has had to face a series of major problems. Everyone's extremely complicated, as they lead to injury problems for the most important players in the team. In this case, the central defense is the one that has suffered the most from the impact of the calendar.

Right now, the Meringue institution is seriously thinking about changing the central aspect for the next campaign. To do so, they have started listening to interesting offers for two players in the team. One of them is Éder Militão, the other, David Alaba; both players who suffer from the same issue: a ruptured cruciate ligament in the knee.

Letting these players go could be a very risky move, as they could leave for a absurdly low price. However, their performance is subject to their recovery and that is a gamble that Real Madrid is not willing to take.

Offers are being heard for them

Seeing the overall situation of the team at the moment, it's unbelievable to think that two of these names could leave. Mainly because they have been the standard bearers of Real Madrid in recent years. Even more so since they won the legendary '14' for the Meringues, where they were a wall against their rivals.

However, the outlook in defense is so discouraging that the board sees no alternative but to opt for this option, albeit a bit hasty. World-class teams could then see an opportunity to take two of the best players from Real Madrid next transfer market.

Big clubs like the Premier League could see a window of opportunity to strengthen themselves with these two stars. In addition, it could take two important weights off Madrid's shoulders, as they don't know how they will return to fitness.

They still have to make the right decision

Although the decision seems to be more and more unanimous, it hasn't yet been fully taken by the board. However, given the general situation of the team and how the future of the club is progressing, they don't seem to have any other effective option. For now, the only thing we can do is wait for the club to issue a definitive position.
