After a spell of tempest that left Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona dangling by a thread from the UEFA Champions League, UEFA finally decided to relent and let the stalwarts of Europe dabble in the biggest club competition of the continent.
The draw for the fray will be hosted on August 26th and it is believed that Los Blancos will be able to bolster their reinforcements within that timeframe. They are currently in the middle of severe doldrums given the surmised departure of Varane and Ramos that may also sweep the likes of Hazard at the end of the season.
The transfer interests of Real Madrid
Real Madrid has actually expressed a boatload of interests in order to undergo a major overhaul before the summer of 2021-22 begins. Their primary target to replace the likes of Varane and Ramos was Jules Kounde. However, they have also started digging for Milan Skriniar who was absolutely phenomenal for the Nerazzuri in the last season’s Serie A.
Skriniar was at the cream of his showdowns in the recently concludes season that saw him appearing for Internazionale in a staggering 167 contests, even finding the back of the net a whopping 7 times that is deemed as a godly statistic for a central defender.

Skriniar stoked further interest in him from the big clubs after a sizzling display in the Euro opener for Slovakia that saw him bottling the likes of Robert Lewandowski and even hammering the winning strike of the night.
Madrid will feel reprieved after the inclusion of David Alaba but in case if both Varane and Ramos part ways with the club, they will need a decent partner for the Austrian in the center.
According to the Hard Tackle via Fichajes, it was reported that Madrid will be primed to onboard the likes of Skriniar at the first sign of trouble in case of a double departure.
Going by the words of The Hard tackle via Defensa Central, they will also be monitoring the likes of Dani Olmo, who played an exceptional game for Spain in their Euro opener.
Olmo has also established himself in the most towering forms for RB Leipzig and his evolution since his departure from the Catalans has left everyone stunned.
Dani Olmo and Emil Forsberg were directly involved in 14 and 11 Bundesliga goals respectively for RB Leipzig last season.

His enviable numbers in the last season that saw him hammering 7 strikes and 12 assists from 46 matches in all competitions in the last season make Madrid believe that he can be a fine substitute for Luka Modric.
Madrid has also made it clear that they will be keeping Martin Odegaard despite interest from Arsenal to onboard him permanently.
