Central Defender that Ancelotti Asks Florentino to Win Everything with Real Madrid

Ancelotti doesn't hesitate and makes a request to Florentino for a central defender who would be the perfect solution

Due to the injuries they have suffered recently, the central defense is one of the positions that the Whites need to strengthen the most. In addition, they could surely add one or two good players to the team next year. In this case, Carlo Ancelotti has the idea of being able to add one of the best central defenders in Europe.

He has directly approached Florentino Pérez to make a specific request to bring a central defender from Italian soccer. We are referring to the benchmark in the Inter Milan defense, Alessandro Bastoni. He seems to have everything necessary to be able to immediately join the team and be one of the permanent first team players from then on.

Obviously, the most difficult thing will be to try to get him out of Inter, which seems to be a real headache. However, Florentino Pérez, with his great experience and ability, may find a suitable formula.

He wants Bastoni

The Italian player has shown great firmness in every game he has played, even on the most important stages. At the age of less than 25, he hasn't played in a major final against Manchester City and, still, he's one of the best in the world.

He has played more than 1,300 minutes in 19 games this season. These are very interesting figures and he also shows in every game that he has outstanding power. In addition, his qualities, such as his height of 1.90 m, make him a great prospect for defending in the air.

However, Florentino has to take into account that in order to sign him, negotiations are necessary, since his contract binds him to the Italian club until 2028. In addition to all this, his market value is around 75 million euros, which also generates uncertainty, since it is a very high sum.

They must analyze it well

Although Ancelotti's request is this one and seems quite coherent, Florentino has to analyze everything carefully. Mainly because of the issue of the transfer fee, as it is quite a high fee. If it is convenient for the team, then a way will be found to make this request, but only if it is part of the plans.
