Big moves are happening in Florentino Pérez’s office, with the signing of a new contract set to be finalized in the next few days.
Toni Kroos has donned his sporting director’s hat and has presented the name of a very interesting footballer to Florentino, who could be an excellent signing for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid continues to make progress in planning for the 2025-26 season, as the club seeks to strengthen the defense, which is considered the weakest area of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
Ancelotti has made clear the team’s needs, which extend beyond names like Alphonso Davies, Trent Alexander-Arnold, or Florian Wirtz, which Real Madrid fans have been discussing.
Strengthening the defense is one of Real Madrid’s main objectives this summer, especially after the pressures they faced last season.This is something that Juni Calafat has been working on, and he may need some extra help.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, the list of players linked to strengthening Carlo Ancelotti’s defense includes Cotti Romero, William Saliba, Antonio Silva, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Gonzalo Inacio.
However, the name of Jonathan Tah, the current Bayer Leverkusen defender, is gaining prominence as an option to improve the club’s defensive line.
The former Real Madrid player visited the Santiago Bernabéu stadium last weekend to attend the Villarreal match, and Toni Kroos took the opportunity to greet his teammates, in addition to discussing matters with Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez.
Kroos recommended signing Jonathan Tah, a center-back he knows well, who will be available for free when his contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in June 2025.
These recommendations from the Real Madrid legend seem crucial at the moment, as the club needs to integrate a new defender before next summer, and Jonathan Tah has the ability to perform as required upon his arrival.
