Real Madrid Plan Six-Signing Summer Rebuild Across Defense, Midfield and Attack

Overview

• Club reporting outlines two additions per line: a full-back and centre-back, a defensive and an attacking midfielder, plus a right winger and a centre-forward.
• Plans include recalling Endrick from his loan at Lyon and activating a €9m buy-back for Nico Paz from Como at the start of the window.
• Scouts have been cleared to track AZ Alkmaar midfielder Kees Smit and Borussia Dortmund centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck closely, according to reports.
• Uncertainty over expiring deals for Antonio Rüdiger, Dani Carvajal and David Alaba underscores the need for defensive reinforcements.
• Madrid have received encouraging signals around Erling Haaland and mixed messages regarding PSG’s Vitinha, though any Haaland pursuit is viewed as difficult after his 2034 Manchester City renewal and may hinge on broader circumstances.
