Real Madrid, the star studded European giants have gone back to their drawing board with the aim of making their defence more solid.

With Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Ferland Mendy as their preferred starting defence line, Madrid are looking to add more options to these positions as well as in midfield.

According to 24transfernews.com, Madrid are reportedly targeting four Premier League stars, aiming to cement their status as one of the most formidable teams in history.

According to The Independent, the reigning European and Spanish champions have set their sights on Manchester City’s midfield maestro Rodri, Liverpool’s dynamic right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, and either Arsenal’s rock-solid defender William Saliba or Tottenham’s tenacious centre-back Cristian Romero.

The club’s ambition is evident as they look to blend their already star-studded squad, which includes the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo, with Premier League elite. Rodri, in particular, has emerged as a primary target.

His crucial role at Manchester City and the Spanish national team highlights his status as one of the best midfielders in the world.

According to Sports Buddy, Madrid’s pursuit underscores their desire to strengthen their midfield with a player known for his defensive prowess and playmaking abilities.

Alongside Rodri, Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, renowned for his exceptional crossing ability and tactical intelligence, is also on Madrid’s radar.

His addition could enhance Madrid’s right flank, providing more attacking options and defensive solidity.

The club is also considering either William Saliba or Cristian Romero to bolster their defence.

Saliba's composure and tactical acumen have been vital for Arsenal, while Romero’s aggressive and commanding presence makes him a standout for Tottenham. Both would bring a new level of defensive quality to Madrid.

This strategic move is a continuation of Madrid’s renewed focus on building a dominant squad, following a period of financial recalibration.

With their recent success and robust financial position, these Premier League stars could be the final pieces in Madrid’s quest for sustained dominance in European football.
