Overview
- Reports say Madrid are monitoring Rennes’ Jeremy Jacquet as a long‑term prospect, though his deal to 2029 would make any move complex and costly.
- Nico Schlotterbeck is viewed as a ready-made option with a Borussia Dortmund contract running to 2027 that could enable negotiations, though wages may be an issue.
- Bernabéu officials have ruled out a 2026 move for Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté, and the club does not plan to pursue Marc Guehi.
- Real Madrid are increasingly likely to re-sign Jacobo Ramón from Como by activating a reported €8m buy-back clause, with a return described as possible sooner rather than later.
- Alaba is expected to leave and Rüdiger is out of contract in June, which could leave Xabi Alonso with Militão, Dean Huijsen, Raúl Asencio and Joan Martínez and heightens the need to recruit.
