The Spanish giants are reportedly eyeing a double raid on Tottenham Hotspur. As Carlo Ancelotti looks to reinforce his squad for the next season, addressing defensive vulnerabilities has become a top priority for the Italian. <\/p><p>Real Madrid want to bolster their defense as injuries to David Alaba and Eder Militao have exposed a lack of squad depth in their backline during the ongoing season. The Spanish giants have identified multiple targets to strengthen their defense, with plans to sign three new defenders to ensure greater stability at the back.<\/p><p>One of their top priorities remains Liverpool&rsquo;s Trent Alexander-Arnold, as the club sees him as a long-term successor to Dani Carvajal at right-back. The English full-back, known for his creativity and attacking output, has been on Madrid&rsquo;s radar for a while and a potential move could materialize in the summer. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#127897;&#65039; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrAncelotti?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@MrAncelotti<\/a> &#127897;&#65039;<br>&#128250; Press conference &#10145;&#65039; RM Play<\/p>&mdash; Real Madrid C.F. &#127468;&#127463;&#127482;&#127480; (@realmadriden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realmadriden\/status\/1900539010214510833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 14, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tottenham-hotspur\/sources-real-madrid-have-two-tottenham-defenders-on-their-radar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>TEAMtalk<\/a>, The two Tottenham players that have emerged as key targets for Los Blancos are Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro.

However, with Madrid&rsquo;s growing interest and their ability to lure top talents with Champions League football and silverware opportunities, Spurs could find themselves in a battle to keep their key defensive assets. If Madrid pushes ahead with their plans to sign the Premier League duo, it could mark a significant shake-up for both clubs ahead of the new season.<\/p><p>Madrid are keeping a close watch on Tottenham&rsquo;s highly-rated right-back Pedro Porro.
