Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Mamadou Sarr and his development at RC Strasbourg, and they could raid Chelsea for the defender.

According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are keeping close tabs on the development of promising young defender Mamadou Sarr ahead of next summer. The Spanish giants are planning a revamp of their backline, and the on-loan Chelsea defender’s progress could potentially lead to an approach.

Real Madrid are angling for some interesting moves for some defenders to shore up their backline, as per Xabi Alonso’s specifications. The Spanish tactician had wanted to bring in a few key names in the summer, but Los Blancos only managed to sign Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth, who has since been a star performer at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, Alonso wants new names in his ranks moving forward, as next summer could see Real Madrid making some big defensive moves in the market. Ibrahima Konate is heavily linked with a Bosman move as he has reportedly refused to renew with Liverpool.

Marc Guehi is also being linked with a move, and once again on a Bosman move, as Real Madrid could deal a double blow to Liverpool’s plans by signing the Crystal Palace star. They also have another name, as Real Madrid are keeping close tabs on Chelsea defender Mamadou Sarr ahead of next summer.

Sarr, who joined Strasbourg from Lyon in the summer of 2024, has thoroughly impressed with his application in the game. Chelsea signed him on a permanent deal, before sending him back to the French side on loan for the current season to help him continue his developmental arc.

Real Madrid could raid Chelsea for Mamadou Sarr

Chelsea are set to bring Sarr back to Stamford Bridge next season in the hope that he continues to put in consistent performances for Strasbourg. However, in recent windows, the Blues have been open to doing business for their players if it helps them make a solid profit on their investment.

In the case of the 20-year-old whizkid, Real Madrid could be keen to add a young centre-back with bags of potential for the future. The Spanish giants could approach depending on how much Chelsea want for Mamadou Sarr, although the Blues’ plans for his future will also prove crucial in this chase.
