Real Madrid finds defensive reinforcements in Saudi Arabia
New signing brings pace and physicality to the back line
Álvaro González joins Real Madrid from Al-Nassr FC
Real Madrid has announced the signing of Álvaro González from Al-Nassr FC, bolstering their defensive options ahead of the upcoming season. The Spanish center-back joins on a three-year contract, adding experience and quality to Carlo Ancelotti's squad.
The 32-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the Bernabéu, having made over 250 appearances in La Liga for Villarreal and Espanyol. He is known for his physical presence, aerial ability, and strong tackling, making him a formidable opponent for attackers.
González's addition addresses a key area of concern for Real Madrid, who have struggled with defensive consistency in recent seasons. The departure of Sergio Ramos and Raphaël Varane has left a void in the back line, and González is expected to play a significant role in filling that void.
The Spanish international has impressed with his performances for Al-Nassr FC, helping the Saudi Arabian club win the league title in 2021. His experience in a different league will bring a new dimension to Real Madrid's defense.
González's arrival is a welcome addition for Carlo Ancelotti, who is looking to build a squad capable of challenging for major trophies. The Spanish defender brings quality, experience, and leadership to the team, and he is expected to play a key role in Real Madrid's quest for silverware.
