Real Madrid has profoundly reworked its defense in the past 12 months, and this process does not seem to stop.
Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alvaro Carreras have joined the club in recent months, and other arrivals are scheduled for next summer.
In addition to the aforementioned trio, Real Madrid joined Raul Asencio in the first team, while club leaders continue to count on Eder Militao despite two consecutive injuries in the previous cross ligament. In addition, it is planned that Ibrahima Konate joins the club, either this summer, or in 2026 as a free agent.

What future for Rudiger?
Real Madrid would then have Huijsen, Konate, Militao and Asencio as options for the central defender in the first team, which questions the future of Antonio Rudiger, 32, and David Alaba, 33.
According to Diario As, there is a good chance that Rudiger will leave Real Madrid next summer, at the expiration of his contract. He is considered to be “on the start”, the chances that a new contract is offered to him being deemed thin at this stage.
Real Madrid is waiting to see how Rudiger's physical level will evolve next season before making a final decision. Given his age, there is a good chance that he continues to regress, and if that were the case, the club could turn his back on him.
Alaba's situation is even more precarious
If there is a chance that Rudiger remains beyond 2026, this will certainly not be the case for Alaba. Real Madrid wants it to leave now, even if it recognizes that it will be difficult to sell it due to the lack of interest.
Alaba's injury problems are even more serious, and taking into account his high salary, there is little chance that a renewal is offered to him. If he does not leave this summer, he will find himself at the bottom of the hierarchy of central defenders, even if he could still count on Alonso.
