Real Madrid Confidencial Rüdiger and Alaba Breathe Easy, Central Plan Revealed for the Next 2 Years
This Center-Back Threatens Rüdiger and Alaba, but Real Madrid Has a Plan and Gives Them a Window of Opportunity
It's no secret that this season has been a real headache regarding the defense sector of the white team. All of this is due to performance slumps, patches, and mainly, significant and long-term injuries to key players. Right now, Militao is one of the players affected by injury, and Rüdiger along with Alaba are under scrutiny.
It was speculated that, with the need to sign a center-back, there might be a possibility of displacing one of these two previously mentioned names. The name of William Saliba is the one that most threatens a radical change for the central defense of the merengue team. However, it seems that the club's plan is going in a completely different direction, waiting until the completion of his contract to sign him in 2027.
This information has to evolve over time as this situation may arise. Nevertheless, this gives both center-backs a breather that they can still convince the management that they are useful for the team's scheme.
Saliba, But for Later
Talking about the Frenchman is talking about one of the best center-backs in the world today, as he is a player with exceptional defensive qualities. At 24 years old, he has already established himself in an extremely demanding league like the Premier League.
As of today, with more than 3,500 minutes in 40 matches, he is a reliable center-back with a very promising future ahead. By 2027, which is when his contract ends, he could join the white team completely free.
The German's performance at Real Madrid has been outstanding, being one of the essential pillars of the team. It's not the same case with the Austrian, who has returned from a very complicated injury and hasn't done so in his best version. However, this decision by the management gives him a good margin to change his outlook in the near future.
They Still Have Margin
For now, the center-backs still have the opportunity to show what they can be worth to the team through experience and seniority. However, when the time comes, things can change, and that's why they have to take advantage of this margin of opportunity.
