The Real Madrid is not particularly active in the chapter of signings during the current transfer window. The merengue team, which also decided not to make many changes last summer, has only closed the acquisitions of left-back Theo Hernandez from Atletico Madrid and midfielder Dani Ceballos from Real Betis during this summer period.
However, this does not prevent the European champion from also being very attentive to the situation of other footballers. The Madrid team has made a notable shift in its transfer policy in recent seasons and has not hesitated to bet on young talents in addition to established superstars.
And it is precisely in this policy where a name has come into focus. Specifically, and as highlighted by the information from Soy Madridista, it is the young French center-back just 20 years old, Issa Diop. Despite his youth, the French defender has had two seasons performing at a more than outstanding level in his country, defending the colors of Toulouse (54 matches in this time including different competitions).
The player, about whom Fichajes.com already reported interest almost a year ago, is one of the focal points on Real Madrid's agenda. With four central defenders in the merengue team (Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Vallejo, and Nacho), the arrival of the Frenchman would allow Nacho to be relocated to the right-back position as an alternative to Carvajal after the departure of Danilo to Manchester City.
With other top-level teams like Chelsea or Inter Milan also interested in him, another option being considered by Real Madrid itself is for the player to join their reserve team and alternate between that and the first team. However, this possibility seems extremely complicated after the player has established himself in Ligue 1 and considering the interest he has also aroused in other teams.
