The defensive zone remains one of the areas of greatest concern for Real Madrid. Most of the injuries have occurred in this position and Florentino has set himself the goal of bringing in reinforcements to solve the situation.

At the moment, Real Madrid has two pure central defenders in the team who are healthy. One is Antonio Rüdiger and the other is Raúl Asencio. From there, names of injured players or patches that Carlo Ancelotti has to use in his starting eleven appear.

David Alaba is already training with the group, but it will take him some time to recover his competitive level after being out for almost a year. Éder Militão is out until next season and Jesús Vallejo is not in the team and his exit in the winter is not ruled out. In addition, Aurélien Tchoauméni's name also appears, although his main position is pivot.

A transfer to reinforce the center of defense

Given the current situation of Real Madrid 's defense, Florentino Pérez got down to work. The president, as stated by Fichajes.net, has the objective of transfering Vitor Reis, the Palmeiras defender, as soon as possible.

At just 18 years old, Vítor Reis has caught the attention of several important clubs thanks to his defensive solidity and versatility. Obviously, Juni Calafat had his eye on him and Real Madrid haven't hesitated to get in touch with him.

He can also play on the right flank, which is why he has the versatility that Real Madrid like. His physique, with a height of 1.86 meters, and his maturity on the field, make him an ideal profile to reinforce Real Madrid.

An affordable price for Real Madrid

Vitor Reis' current value is around 14 million euros, an affordable price for the Merengue team. In recent days, Juni Calafat has travelled to Brazil again with the aim of closing the deal and avoiding setbacks.

The future of the Brazilian defender undoubtedly seems to be at the Santiago Bernabéu. His arrival would solve many of Real Madrid's defensive problems, adding youth to an essential position.
