Real Madrid continue to focus on the future of their defensive line, with all eyes on Honest Ahanor, the young Atalanta centre-back who has impressed this season, according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio and confirmed by the 'Tribuna' website.

At just 18 years old, Ahanor is enjoying his breakout season, following Atalanta's €16 million investment to sign him from Genoa. A versatile player, he primarily operates as a centre-back but can also deputise at left-back. So far, he has featured in 28 matches for the Bergamo club and recently made his debut for the Italy U21 national team, solidifying his status as an emerging prospect.

Real Madrid's interest comes amid a defensive restructuring, prompted by the probable departure of David Alaba and uncertainty surrounding Antonio Rudiger's future. The 'merengue' board is seeking reinforcements that combine youth, growth potential, and adaptability to various defensive positions – attributes that Ahanor fully possesses.

'Tribuna' highlights that monitoring young talents like Ahanor reflects Real Madrid's strategy to secure medium and long-term solutions, anticipating squad changes and ensuring continued quality in defense.
