Miguel Gutierrez (Girona)
The defense will be the only department that Real Madrid is targeting in this transfer window. The Spanish side has also been hugely impressed with Miguel Gutierrez’s spell with Girona. As a backup replacement, the player can be a cost-effective buy for the club. This is mainly owing to the fact that Madrid has a €8 million buy-back clause in his contract. In a season where the defensive line has been plagued with injuries, a cut-priced deal can work wonders for the team.
