Real Madrid have been muddling their way through a nightmarish injury scenario in central defence over the past year, and missed out on summer target Leny Yoro, who went to Manchester United instead. They decided not to move for another in the transfer market, but are now looking at future alternatives.
According to Diario AS, one of those alternatives is Valencia defender Yarek Gasiorowski. The 19-year-old centre-back has earned an increasingly important role under Ruben Baraja, and is versatile, having been used all across the backline.
They say that Los Blancos are scouting Yarek and like what they see, and his characteristics fit what they are looking for. Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba are into their thirties, Jesus Vallejo is predicted to be gone by next summer, and Eder Militao will be the mainstay for the coming years, hence Real Madrid want a younger defender to come in and eventually partner the Brazilian.
