Real Madrid must deal with the shortage of defensive players. The club is seeking to stabilize its defensive squad.

The Real Madrid faces crucial challenges on defense this season. With the serious injury of Éder MilitãoDavid Alaba and Dani Carvajal, the defensive options are reduced.

Nacho closes the door on a return

Despite a growing demand for defensive support, Nacho Fernandez made it clear that he would not return to Real Madrid. In an interview with Radio COPEthe defender of the Saudi club Al Qadisiyah claimed that no contact had been made with Real. For Nacho, his decision is made and final: “ Real Madrid didn’t call me. Even if they call me, I’m very happy here. »

His statement marks a clear break with his past in Madrid, where he had been a crucial player for many seasons. He expresses loyalty as a supporter, but not as a player ready to return to service. Nacho highlights his current satisfaction in Saudi Arabia. He indicates that he must “ suffer with Real Madrid as a supporter » and not as a defender on the field.

A call for the training of young talents

Nacho also delivered a bold outlook for the future of Madrid’s defense. He encourages the club to favor young talents from the training center rather than recruiting new players. According to him, this is the moment to “ bet on the young people at the training center. »

With Militão’s prolonged absence, Real Madrid faces a strategic challenge. The lack of depth in central defense could prove critical as the season progresses, especially with the intense competitions ahead. Real Madrid could consider signing new defenders, despite Nacho’s advice in favor of youngsters.
