Real Madrid displayed a remarkable comeback against Almeria, securing a 3-2 victory with a late goal from Dani Carvajal after trailing 2-0.
The 32-year-old Spanish veteran’s recent resurgence has proven his enduring value to the team, but questions about a long-term successor persist.
Carvajal’s form has alleviated concerns, yet the club must now address the inevitable aging of their right-back and find a suitable replacement.
Real Madrid has been actively exploring options, with names like Reece James, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Pedro Porro, and Jeremie Frimpong circulating.
Dutch international Lutsharel Geertruida, from Feyenoord, is the latest addition to the list.
Reports suggest Real Madrid is willing to invest approximately €35 million to secure Geertruida, who, at 23, offers versatility in both right-back and center-back positions.
His leadership qualities, evident in captaining Feyenoord, and strong performances this season make him an appealing prospect.
While Geertruida may not be the most high-profile signing, Real Madrid’s strategic pursuit aligns with their vision of securing players capable of elevating the team’s overall performance.
As speculation intensifies, the football world awaits to see if Real Madrid will make a decisive move to secure the promising talent and potentially groom him as Carvajal’s long-term successor.
