Rumors continue to swirl around Real Madrid as the Spanish club intensifies its quest for top-tier players to fortify its squad, which currently suffers from a lack of depth contributing to frequent injuries.

While boasting one of the finest midfields in world football, Real Madrid faces an uncertain future concerning the esteemed club legends, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, sparking concerns of potential weakening in this pivotal area.

Speculation looms large over Modric’s imminent departure at the season’s end, leaving observers curious about Kroos’ next move. Reports hint at retirement rumors earlier this year, eventually quashed by his one-year contract extension. Follow your favourite La Liga team with attractive La Liga odds from Nextbet. 

In the midst of these uncertainties, a standout performer from the Premier League has captured Real Madrid’s attention. Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle) reports that the 14-time European champions are eyeing Aston Villa’s Youri Tielemans. Despite an opportunity to secure him as a free agent in the summer, Real Madrid refrained, but Tielemans’ stellar displays for Aston Villa have reignited their interest.

Tielemans, previously linked to Real Madrid on multiple occasions, wasn’t acquired due to the club’s midfield depth, even as a free agent, during the summer transfer window.

Presently, Aston Villa emerges as the Premier League’s form team, securing consecutive victories against Manchester City and Arsenal, positioning themselves at an impressive third place in the league standings, with Tielemans playing a pivotal role in their success.

As the Belgian international continues to excel, Real Madrid’s potential pursuit of Tielemans looms large, given his commendable performances for Aston Villa. The footballing world anticipates whether Real Madrid will indeed make a move for the talented midfielder in the future. Get the latest updates from the La Liga only on Nextbet Sports.
