The Real Madrid transfer market continues to heat up for the upcoming year as they are already preparing for the addition of another central defender for the summer of 2027. Rúben Dias from Manchester City and Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan are among the names that the white club has looked into. They must also decide the future of Antonio Rüdiger, whose contract ends on June 30, 2027.
According to reports attributed to Fabrizio Romano, the sports management intends to incorporate at least one central defender next summer, despite having acquired Ibrahima Konaté on a free transfer. The planning also includes strengthening the midfield, a position that concerns José Mourinho.
Real Madrid reconsiders the signings of Rúben Dias and Alessandro Bastoni
Defense will be a priority in the next summer transfer window. Real Madrid already assessed the options of signing Rúben Dias and Alessandro Bastoni during the 2026 summer, but eventually they chose to finalize the arrival of Konaté.
The 27-year-old Frenchman ended his contract with Liverpool and signed until June 2030, a deal that allowed them to reinforce the squad without paying a transfer fee. His arrival led the club to postpone the search for another central defender to focus resources on other positions.
However, the interest in the two defenders seems to persist. Rúben Dias, aged 29, would bring experience after several seasons at Manchester City, while Alessandro Bastoni, aged 27, would offer a left-footed profile for ball distribution.
