Real Madrid will look to improve their squad despite a highly successful campaign under manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian guided his team to a league and Champions League double and also won the Supercopa de Espana.

Meanwhile, Los Blancos have reignited their interest in an AS Roma full-back. Elsewhere, the La Liga giants have announced the arrival of Antonio Rudiger.

On that note, here's a look at the key Real Madrid transfer stories as on June 3, 2022:


Real Madrid reignite interest in Leonardo Spinazzola

Real Madrid have reignited their interest in Leonardo Spinazzola, according to The Hard Tackle via Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian has emerged as one of the finest left-backs in Serie A in recent seasons. So Los Blancos are planning to take him to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Spinazzola arrived at Roma from Juventus in 2019 and has not looked back since then. The 29-year-old has appeared 75 times for the Giallorossi, scoring four goals and setting up 11 others. Los Blancos were keen on his services last summer, but his season-ending knee injury forced them to shelve their plans.

The Italian only returned to action last month but seems to have put his injury woes behind him. Real Madrid are in the market for a new left-back and have their eyes on Spinazzola.

Marcelo's departure means Carlo Ancelotti lacks a specialist backup for Ferland Mendy in the squad. The Italian manager does have David Alaba, who can slot in at left-back.

The arrival of Antonio Rudiger could push the Austrian out wide, though. However, Los Blancos will look to add more depth to that position, so a move for Spinazzola makes sense. The 29-year-old’s contract expires in 2024, and the La Liga giants have already enquired about his availability.

Antonio Rudiger has completed his move to Real Madrid, the club have confirmed.

The German defender will leave Chelsea at the end of his contract, which expires this month. Rudiger spent five highly successful years at Stamford Bridge, but the Blues have failed to convince him to agree an extension.

The 29-year-old has reportedly signed a four-year deal with Los Blancos and will join them on a Bosman move at the start of next month. Rudiger's arrival will further strengthen an already impressive backline at the Santiago Bernabeu.
