5 Bundesliga stars who could be valuable additions to Real Madrid

#3 Jerome Boateng

Jerome Boateng was hailed as the best centre-back in the world by Pep Guardiola

While their attack has a played a critical role in their success over the last few years, the Real Madrid defence too has played its part despite being a unit that fails to inspire the requisite levels of confidence amongst the club’s faithful.

Be it Sergio Ramos’ eccentricities or Raphael Varane’s error-prone nature, Real Madrid fans are always on the edge of their seats. So, what they perhaps need to complement Ramos’ abilities is a man who could provide the required solidarity to the Real Madrid backline and who better to look at than the German powerhouse Jerome Boateng.

While the player has spent considerable time on the medical table since joining Bayern Munich, make no mistake, when he is fit, he is one of the best central defenders in the game. The German international has shown the ability to disrupt the opposition’s rhythm with a mix of tackles, interceptions as well as blocks and has put in several defensive master classes in the Bayern Munich jersey.

The 29-year-old has made rapid strides in his career and is believed to be amongst the best sweepers in the game at the moment and having a player of his calibre, as well as calmness, would immensely benefit the seemingly fragile Real Madrid back line.
