Zero-cost signing for the defense: Florentino informs Xabi about the chosen one

If there's something Real Madrid likes to take advantage of on several occasions, it's the market opportunities that sometimes arise. However, in this case, a very interesting option has appeared for the white team: that of a center-back completely free of charge. However, as Defensa Central has learned, this isn't about the addition of a player, but rather the return of Joan Martínez.

This player managed to lift spirits a lot at the start of last season due to his outstanding performance with the reserve team. However, a ligament rupture ended up sidelining him for the entire season, and he couldn't show more than what we saw in preseason.

Now we'll probably be able to see him, since he's about to return at 100% (100%), and he'd be an interesting element for either Arbeloa or Alonso. However, we still shouldn't rush with this player, since with such a serious injury involved, we can't think about a relapse.

Shocking: Very close to returning

At the beginning of last preseason, the player left a very good impression overall and today he could be the solution in the merengue defense. That said, it's not an easy task, since there are many details to be polished in this regard.

What was seen at the Club World Cup exposed some players in defense, which is why having one more element is always welcome. Even more so when it's such an exciting homegrown player of this caliber, waiting for his opportunity in the first team.

For now, the only thing we can do is wait to see when the ideal moment for his return will be and, in this way, see him on the field. This is something that must be done with a lot of patience and by avoiding any kind of scare with him.

Alonso waits happily

This kind of news surely makes the coach very happy, seeing that he has options at center-back for the future and the present. Moreover, with the anger he had at the last Club World Cup with the center-backs, he'll surely be more than just a reinforcement.
