Real Madrid accepts all the conditions that their next center-back has set

Florentino speeds up the signing of the French center-back and accepts his demands to strengthen Real Madrid's defense

The defensive situation at Real Madrid is forcing Florentino Pérez to make urgent and strategic decisions. For several seasons now, physical problems have been repeating too frequently in the white back line. Every season, injuries condition the sports planning and force the club to improvise unstable solutions.

Key names such as Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Mendy, or Rüdiger have recently undergone surgery. These prolonged absences have weakened the team's defensive solidity at decisive moments. Real Madrid is aware that it needs to reinforce its defensive structure as soon as possible.

Florentino Pérez activates the defensive plan

In this scenario, Florentino Pérez is already combing the transfer market in search of a top-level center-back. The priority is to find a proven profile, with international experience and an immediate capacity for performance. The objective is to avoid improvisations and ensure medium-term stability.

In recent weeks, names such as Marc Guéhi, Ibrahima Konaté, or Nico Schlotterbeck have been strongly linked. All of them fit the profile that Real Madrid is seeking to reinforce the defense. However, one clearly stands out above the rest on the roadmap.

Upamecano gains an edge in the race

The big favorite to reinforce the white back line is Dayot Upamecano, Bayern Munich's center-back. The French defender's contract ends this summer and he could arrive at Real Madrid on a free transfer. This circumstance turns the operation into a very attractive strategic opportunity.

However, the signing is not free of important conditions on the player's part. Upamecano has made it clear that he will only leave if his contractual demands are fully met. Otherwise, Bayern Munich is willing to finalize his renewal as soon as possible.

Real Madrid accepts all the conditions

According to journalist Santi Aouna, an expert in the transfer market, Real Madrid has taken a decisive step. "Real Madrid has reached a verbal agreement with Upamecano," the reporter stated. In addition, he confirmed that the club accepts all his personal demands.

This decision shows Florentino Pérez's firm commitment to securing the team's defensive future. The club understands that losing this opportunity would be an important strategic mistake. Therefore, it is willing to assume the conditions set by the French center-back.
