Didac Aguirre 2 Under-the-Radar Central Defenders Madrid is Monitoring for 2025, Just 21 Years Old
The young stars Real Madrid is watching for potential transfers next summer
With the winter market approaching, Real Madrid's highly focused on the transfers to be made. While they don't plan to make any moves this market, the club could take advantage of securing some transfers. One of the most striking is the club's interest in two central defenders from Sporting de Portugal.
The players in question are Zeno Debast and Ousmane Diomande, a pair of central defenders shining in Portugal. At 21 years old, both fit the profile Real Madrid is looking for to strengthen its defense. Still, the club has chosen to continue analyzing the players' progress.
However, Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona have also shown interest in both of them. The clubs' presence could somewhat complicate Real Madrid's intentions for the next summer market.
The central defenders for Real Madrid
Arriving at Sporting in 2023, Diomande has managed to secure a place in the starting eleven. The 1,622 minutes he's played this season show the relevance he's quickly acquired. Similarly, his contract until 2027 demonstrates the enormous confidence the Portuguese club has in the future of its young central defender.
As for Debast, the Belgian center-back arrived last summer to form a great duo with Diomande. Playing 1,511 minutes, the player has quickly stood out at a club where he has a contract until 2029. The chemistry between both center-backs and their good performances have put them on Real Madrid's radar to strengthen its defense.
With Militão's injury, the merengue team clearly sees the need to renew its defense as soon as possible. While the interest in both center-backs has remained, the club needs to witness their end of this season. This is to make an appropriate decision if they want to proceed with their transfers.
The anticipated renewal
Despite the interest from other clubs, Real Madrid has remained completely calm regarding the center-backs' situation. The opportunity to wear the merengue jersey will be very difficult to refuse for two center-backs looking to make history.
