Real Madrid find themselves at a bittersweet crossroads. Nacho Fernandez will leave the club this summer, which means they must replace the club legend. However, it does present Carlo Ancelotti with a golden opportunity to bring in some young talent to the defence, finally. Here are 3 Real Madrid transfer suggestions for defenders who could replace Nacho...
3 Real Madrid transfer suggestions for Nacho replacements
1. Leny Yoro
The player at the top of everybody's list should be Leny Yoro. The 18-year-old LOSC defender is wanted by Real Madrid and it's clear to see why.
At such a young age, Yoro has shown plenty of maturity during his short time developing in the LOSC first-team. He has a wide range of skills including composure, playing out from the back and most importantly, tackling.
He has experience playing as the last man, meaning he is already well equipped in one-on-one defensive situations. This is something which will certainly appeal to Carlo Ancelotti, as it is a nice bonus to the obvious zonal approach occupied by Yoro.
At just 18, Yoro is excellent at pushing his opposing defender into unchartered territories, essentially forcing them onto their weaker foot. This is a trait which will certainly appeal to Carlo Ancelotti and it's the reason why Yoro is at the top of the transfer shortlist.
