Despite the new signings in the winter, FC Bayern is still looking for a new central defender in the summer. Rafa Marin is also considered a possible reinforcement. The German record champions may now be able to cross the Spaniard off their list.
With Eric Dier and Sacha Boey, FC Bayern strengthened their defense twice in the winter transfer window. Nevertheless, another central defender is expected in the summer. Ronald Araujo is considered coach Thomas Tuchel’s absolute dream player. The Munich team was already interested in the Uruguayan from FC Barcelona in the winter, but a transfer did not materialize.
It is unclear whether things could look different next summer. That’s why FC Bayern also has other names on its list. One of these names is said to be Rafa Marin. The Spaniard, currently on loan at Deportivo Alaves from Real Madrid, has put himself in the focus of top clubs with strong performances.
Real Madrid probably rejects those interested in Marin
The Spanish U21 international has appeared in 21 LaLiga games for Alaves this season. Much of it over the full 90 minutes.
The Royals are said to have now rejected all interested parties. As the “as” reports, the 21-year-old is set to become an integral part of the Real Madrid squad next season. This is also why the Spanish capital is said to have waived an “emergency obligation” in the winter. With Antonio Rüdiger and Nacho Fernandez, Carlo Ancelotti is currently missing the last trained central defenders.
Eder Militao and ex-Bayern star David Alaba have been missing for a while with cruciate ligament tears. While the Brazilian could potentially return to the pitch in April, Alaba is even at risk of missing the European Championships in Germany.
