Real Madrid is faced with the need to strengthen its defensive zone, especially at the right back. With the loss of Carvajal, the team is weakened in a key position. The board is already looking for solutions. Although the main objective seems to be Trent Alexander-Arnold, the board doesn't want to rely solely on that option.
The Need to Strengthen the Right Side
Real Madrid have suffered from a lack of depth at the right back following the loss of Carvajal. Although other players have tried to fill his position, Dani's impact and defensive solidity are difficult to replace.
With the calendar full of national and international competitions, the team needs a player who can meet the demands of Real Madrid.
Florentino Pérez understands the importance of having a solid and well-covered squad in all positions, especially in one as crucial as right- back. That's why the market is being explored in search of an option that provides security and offensive projection.
Alexander-Arnold: Plan A
Florentino Pérez's first choice is to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool star and one of the best right-backs in the world. His vision and precision with long passes make him a standout player and the board's favorite to replace Carvajal at Real Madrid.
However, Alexander-Arnold won't be easy to sign. Liverpool wouldn't let him go without a really compelling offer, which would be too high.
Florentino Pérez is aware of this and knows that relying exclusively on this transfer could put the plans of the club at risk.
The "New Jesus Navas" Plus Plan B
Faced with the difficulty of signing Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid has set its sights on Pedro Porro as "plan B". The 25-year-old Spaniard has had a remarkable rise in the Premier League, where he has excelled for Tottenham.
His ability to perform both defensive and offensive roles on the right wing has caught the attention of the Real Madrid board.
Pedro Porro has been compared to Jesús Navas, both due to his style of play and for his speed and endurance on the field.
Porro has the ability to recover the ball and create attacking opportunities, qualities that make him a modern and complete full-back.
However, Tottenham will not facilitate his departure. The English club values Porro as a key asset and will hardly let him go without a complicated negotiation.
Manchester City has also shown interest in the player, which could increase his transfer fee.
