Real Madrid Transfer News: Why does Los Blancos need a new left-back
In the previous decade, Marcelo was the first choice left back for the club. However, he wasn’t at his best in the last few years of his career. Thus in 2018, Real Madrid signed Ferland Mendy.
Initially, the Frenchman gave good competition to Marcelo. However, due to constant injuries, he wasn’t able to cement a place for himself in the first team. Now, Real Madrid are in a phase of transition. They are again looking to bring in young players.
Thus now Real Madrid wants to sign Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies. Last season as well Mendy wasn’t at his best. The likes of Nacho Fernandez and Eduardo Camavinga would often deputize for him.
Due to these reasons, it is no wonder that Real Madrid transfer news have mentioned a possible signing of a new left-back. While Fran Garcia is also likely to arrive next season. However, that will not deter Real Madrid to pursue the Bayern Munich left-back.
