According to Calciomercato, “Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid are interested in acquiring the services of the Italian Serie A outfit AC Milan’s defender. The Los Blancos are struggling in the defensive line this season and have been conceding a lot of goals lately. Therefore, as per the latest development, the Madrid-based club’s hierarchy is now eager to find a replacement for young right-back Alvaro Odriozola. For that purpose, the Spanish giants have compiled a list of three candidates which include AC Milan’s Davide Calabria, RB Leipzig’s Lukas Klostermann and Nice’s Youcef Atal. It is believed that Real’s top target is the Milan’s full-back who is their academy product and is with the senior team since 2015 where he is now becoming a permanent member of the playing eleven.”
