Real Madrid Starts Rearranging Back Line, Givairo Read Enters Main Radar

Gilabola.com – Real Madrid is facing two important agendas regarding the back line: the search for a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal and new contract talks with Antonio Rudiger.

Management is said to be monitoring Givairo Read from Feyenoord as the main candidate, while the negotiation process with Rudiger is continuing even though his physical performance is still being closely monitored.

As far as the season goes, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance has not lived up to expectations due to repeated injuries. This situation means that Carvajal remains the main choice even though he is no longer young.

Carvajal is also said to be experiencing fitness problems again, so the club is moving more quickly to prepare a successor who can fill the right-back position in the long term.

Givairo Read then emerged as one of the candidates considered suitable for the regeneration plan. The club’s internal report stated that monitoring of Read was carried out intensively.

According to reports from Spain, Juni Calafat is leading the evaluation of the Feyenoord player. The club reportedly even sent a direct envoy to the Netherlands to prepare a more complete technical report.

Read is described as a right-back with an attacking character and outstanding dribbling abilities. Some reports have compared his playing style to that of Denzel Dumfries.

His performance at Feyenoord this season is said to have attracted the attention of many observers. Real Madrid considers him a figure who has the opportunity to compete with Trent in the next few years.

Regeneration in this position is considered urgent because Carvajal is entering the final phase of his career. The club wants to ensure that his successor is ready before the player completes his term of service which is expected to end between 2026 and 2028.

Even so, Real Madrid does not close the opportunity for internal players. Jesus Fortea is said to still be under consideration, even though his development has been hampered by injury.

Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa are reportedly still assessing the possibility of the player moving up to the first team. However, external options are still considered more realistic in the short term.

Meanwhile, another issue emerged from the defense center. Rudiger is entering the final year of his contract and several reports have suggested that Madrid may let him go for free at the end of the season.

However, the latest report from journalist Matteo Moretto explains that talks between the club and Rudiger are actually already underway. The club is considering a contract extension for the German defender.

Rudiger is said to still want to stay, even though there is still interest from Saudi clubs. His desire to survive is an important factor in continuing negotiations.

The club reportedly has concerns regarding his physical condition, considering the injuries he suffered this season. His performance in the next few months is believed to have a big influence on the final decision.

Rudiger is now in the final stages of recovery from his September injury. He has started training on the field and has the opportunity to appear again in the match against Elche this weekend.

If he does return to play, his presence will be a significant help for Madrid, who have only lost Eder Militao for two weeks due to an adductor injury.
