Real Madrid Plans to Sign Another Premier League Center-Back if Saliba Doesn't Come

Real Madrid's Main Goal Is to Sign William Saliba, the French defender from Arsenal. He is one of the candidates to be the best center-back in the world, and all clubs are keeping an eye on his situation. His contract ends in 2027, and surely in the upcoming markets, there will be movements from several teams.

But in the case that they couldn't close that deal, they would be considering another player. According to the information from Transfers, Real Madrid Would Have Set Their Sights on Cuti Romero, the Tottenham player. He also has a contract until June 30, 2027, and according to Transfermarkt, he is worth 65 million euros.

He is 26 years old, and it is not the first time the Argentine has been linked with Real Madrid.  At the white club, they have noticed him, but he was never pointed out as a priority in the market. At least it is not known to us at Real Madrid Confidencial. 

A Very Difficult Transfer

The fact of being a Tottenham player complicates the signing even more because Daniel Levy is a very tough negotiator, and Florentino knows it well. The signings of Modric and Bale were costly because  the president of the English club doesn't like to sell his most talented players. He prefers to keep them and strengthen the project.

For this reason, although Madrid continues to notice Tottenham players if they have talent, they prefer to look for other interesting alternatives in the market. Moreover, in this case, there are several defenders that are more appealing than the Argentine footballer. It is very likely that no conversations will even take place.

Lots of Calm

Within the Madrid leadership, they are not in a hurry. With the level of Raúl Asencio and the presence of Rüdiger and Alaba in the squad, rotations can be made to manage the players' efforts. Additionally, it is expected that more youth players will join the first team starting next season.

Anyway, at Real Madrid, they are very alert to the market and William Saliba, who could be an option. But not now, rather in the summer of 2026 or 2027. Everything would depend on his contractual situation with Arsenal, which is now trying to renew his contract.
