Real Madrid are no longer considering signing a new center back from the transfer market this summer after Jolo is

's preferred target, but tired of waiting and the hard-to-refuse offer from United, he finally decided to join them.
For their part, Real Madrid have stated that Jolo is Plan A, while they do not see a Plan B of the same caliber on the market. As a result, Real Madrid are increasingly leaning towards not signing any center-backs this summer, even though sporting directors are scouting for other players.
For now, Rüdiger and the recovering Militão will be Real Madrid's starting center back pairing, and it is hoped that they will be able to quickly establish themselves and maintain their optimal fitness levels. Alaba is expected to return to action in October as a replacement, and the club and coaching staff believe that Joan Ameny is capable of playing in the center back position, where he has already played 10 games in the 2023-24 season.
In addition, Nacho and Vallejo are also in the team's plans. Despite the fact that Rafa Marin has moved to Napoli and the number of center-backs in the Real Madrid squad has been reduced, the club has decided not to make a hasty decision. The club will not close the market door completely for possible opportunities.
Real Madrid have also set their sights on the youth team. Three young center backs are highly regarded in the youth team and in Carlo Ancelotti's office. 21 year old Marvel regularly trains with the first team and has been called up on more than one occasion. 19 year old Jacob Ramon has also been compared to Van Dijk. Finally, 17-year-old Juan Martinez is the most promising center back in Real Madrid's eyes. They all have a golden opportunity to shine at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid had high hopes for Yoro and did not expect the script to change. As the player informed Real Madrid that he would be signing for Manchester United, Real Madrid decided not to take further action and not to increase their offer, as the price offered by United was not reasonable from an economic point of view.
