It has been reported that Los Blancos are currently monitoring the situation of the Chelsea full-back, since the current La Liga leaders lack in that particular area, with Arbeloa not completely fulfilling their needs.
Real Madrid are having a phenomenal season in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, but it would be safe to say that defensively they have shown their weaknesses time and time again.
Even while facing an easy team like APOEL in their home ground, the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid were unable to keep a clean sheet and conceded two goals during the game.
Despite being able to qualify for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League and despite leading the Spanish La Liga table with one point, Real Madrid require the services of good full-backs.
Los Blancos have tested a lot of players in the right-back role, but it is true that no one can fill the void left by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096, once the Spaniard takes Carvalho’s position in the centre-back role.
Ramos has been performing phenomenally in the centre-back position for Real Madrid and Alvaro Arbeloa has not been able to fill in the shoes of Ramos in the right-back role. Hence, Jose Mourinho is looking forward to cashing in on an experienced and solid
full-back.
It has been recently reported that Madrid are trying to lure in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s Ivanovic, since he is a perfect fit for their requirements.
Jose Mourinho is trying to strengthen his defensive options and the Serbian national will be a phenomenal buy during the summer transfer window.
The Serbian star has the ability to play in the full-back role as well as the centre-back position. The versatile defender is going to cost Madrid not more than 12 million Euros and it is definitely affordable for a team like Real Madrid.
Mourinho has already tried Lassana Diarra, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamit-Altintop-c15652 in the right-back position, but none of them have satisfied Mourinho.
With Ramos finding his place in the heart of defence and with Carvalho not recovering from his injury any time soon, Ivanovic will definitely bolster the Real Madrid locker room with his addition.
