In it Real Madrid They begin to suffer their first problem of the season due to the physical states of their playersThis was confirmed in the 3-1 victory over Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League, where Dani Carvajal had to improvise as a central defender. The lack of options in the back line will force Carlo Ancelotti’s team to look for a name in the next markets.
One of the names that has been heard for several months is that of Cristian Holiday Romero. The defender of the Tottenham He was looked upon favorably at the Santiago Bernabéu for his good performances at his club, in addition to being a multi-champion with the Argentine National Team (World Cup, Copa America and Finalissima). He is not the only one.
To the Argentine we must add the French Leny Yorowho was close to agreeing to join Madrid in the last transfer market. However, Manchester United put up 60 million euros for his arrival and won the auction. Thus, Carlo Ancelotti’s team was unable to add any defenders and had to make do with the current squad. That does not mean that they are not evaluating their options.
Real Madrid have ruled out Cuti Romero and are targeting Valencia’s Yarek Gasiorowski
Following Real Madrid’s interest in Cuti Romero, Tottenham are willing to offer him a contract renewal to avoid any kind of attempt by the last Champions League winner to sign him. Thus, the Bernabéu is evaluating other options.
And one of the names that the technical secretariat is beginning to monitor is that of Yarek Gasiorowski. This 19-year-old central defender from Valencia He is beginning to emerge as one of the jewels of Spanish football. The reports from the scouts of the Merengue team are “great“and, for that reason, it could be the name that the club would look for in the future, according to the newspaper AS.
However, The situation is not easy and Real Madrid see him as a strategic signing.That is to say, they will not rush to bring him in, but rather they will look for him patiently, a formula that already worked for the club with Kylian Mbappé, for example.
Valencia, his club, has already secured Yarek’s future with a contract until June 2026 and a 45 million euro clause. Besides, He has an automatic renewal clause until 2027 if he plays 20 games. It already takes 18 meetingsso their next matches will be vital to extend the link.
Therefore, if Real Madrid decides to sign him, they will have to negotiate with Valencia and the relationship between the two clubs is not all that good, according to the aforementioned media outlet. However, it would be good for Ancelotti to reinforce an area of the pitch where he does not have many options and where injuries have been a problem: David Alaba I should be back in two months, Eder Militao often suffers from discomfort and Antonio Rudiger can’t handle all the matches. Added to that is the fact that Carletto doesn’t have Jesus Vallejo.
Who is Yarek Gasiorowski?
Real Madrid like his profile because he could fit in with Militao in the future. Yarek Gasiorowski is 19 years old, born in 2005, left-footed and 1.92 metres tall with a very strong physique. He has Polish roots, but is already standing out in the youth teams of the Spanish national team. Transfer market places it as the third Spanish under-19 highest valued at 15 million euros (only Lamine Yamal with 120 million and Pau Cubarsí with 30 million euros surpass him).
As well as being physically strong, he is also a versatile player, which is a significant detail for Madrid. Yarek, in addition to being a central defender, can also excel as a left back. This position also caused problems for the Merengue team due to the irregular level of Ferland Mendy.
At Valencia, Gasiorowski started the season as a substitute, but is now a starter. He played the full 90 minutes against Celta and Barcelona in the last few La Liga matches. His development during this season will be vital for the Merengue club to decide whether to pursue him or not.
