Real Madrid want to sign midfielder Sevilla Juanlu Sanchez: Reports

Since Dani Carvajal suffered a season-ending ACL injury, Real Madrid's right-back issues have come to light. Despite his past success coming in for Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez has been inconsistent and has been unable to contribute to the club. Therefore, in order to have a replacement for the ageing Carvajal, Real Madrid must make an investment in a new right-back as soon as possible. Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool is the favourite candidate for Los Blancos' summer positional reinforcements, while a January move seems to be ruled out.

Real Madrid is reportedly considering Juanlu Sanchez of Sevilla as a potential addition to their right-back lineup, according to AS. Since last season, the 21-year-old has made a name for himself in the starting lineup, and under new coach Garcia Pimienta, he has only become better this season. In fact, Juanlu has shown his versatility and adaptability this season by playing as a right-winger, offensive midfielder, and central midfielder despite being a right-back.

In 14 games in all competitions, the young Spaniard has scored three goals and assisted on two others for Sevilla. Real Madrid, whose release clause has increased from 15 million to 25 million euros, is interested in Juanlu because of his growth, potential, and adaptability. The right-back, who has a contract with Sevilla through 2026, is also drawing interest from Brighton & Hove Albion. 

Liverpool joins the race with Real Madrid to sign Juanlu Sanchez 

He won the gold medal at the Olympics with Spain this year. There is no doubt that Juanlu will stay with the Sevilla team until the completion of the current campaign. However, there is no assurance beyond that, and it will be intriguing to watch if Real Madrid makes a move.

According to some reports, Liverpool is among the Premier League teams keeping an eye on Juanlu Sanchez of Sevilla as uncertainty surrounds Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Anfield. There hasn't been much progress on a contract renewal for Alexander-Arnold, whose deal expires at the end of the current campaign, which has many wondering what the full-back will do next.
