In defense, the Madrid team "Real" promises to strengthen in winter with many problems.
According to "Marca", there will be no long searches and a "proven" option will be acquired - Madrid "Real" seriously considers the candidacy of 23-year-old Mario Hermoso.
The center-back is one of the leaders of the Barcelona team "Espanyol" this season. Catalonia is in second position in the Spanish league and shows the best defensive results after the "Atletico" team - eight goals conceded in 11 matches.
M. Hermoso's game has been evaluated not only by the scouts of Madrid "Real" team, but also by Luis Enrique, who for the first time included a "Espanyol" player in the Spanish national team lineup announced on Friday.
M. Hermoso is a graduate of Madrid "Real", who even managed to debut in the main team. The defender was sold to the "Espanyol" club in the summer of 2017, but the "whites" still own the situation.
"Marca" indicates that the contract includes the possibility of buying back the Spaniard for 7.5 million euros.
In the Madrid "Real" team this season, defense is one of the weakest areas of play. M. Hermoso would replace Jesus Vallejo, who has not played this season and is constantly plagued by injuries.
The "White" team has recently improved in defense - they have not conceded a single goal in the last three matches. However, M. Hermoso remains a very real candidacy to strengthen the defense.
