Real Madrid list to strengthen midfield

With both Lass Diarra and Fernando Gago set to leave the Bernabeu, Real Madrid are forced to add a defensive midfielder in this summer's transfer window. And the three targets, Micheal Essien (Chelsea), Yann M'Vila (Rennes) and Felipe Melo (Juventus), have all been "marked" by Jose Mourinho in the list of players to strengthen the Royal team's midfield.

After Diarra and Gago left, coach Mourinho only had one defensive midfielder left, Sami Khedira. However, the German player is not a true "sweeper" in the midfield, the type of player that is indispensable in the campaign to overthrow Barcelona with the tiqui-taka style of play of the Portuguese coach next season.

Coentrao - a potential target of Real Madrid this summer.

At this time, Real Madrid is preparing plans to bring in famous midfielders. Among them, Michael Essien of Chelsea is considered as a top target of the Royal team.

However, Real Madrid will have to try very hard to win the signature of the Ghanaian player because Essien's price will not be less than 40 million euros. Moreover, Chelsea will try every way to prevent Essien from leaving when recently announced that this player is not for sale.

In contrast to Essien's case, the remaining options are Juventus' Felipe Melo and Rennes' Yann M'Villa, both of whom are very potential. According to the latest developments, Melo has asked Juventus's Board of Directors to leave this summer. Meanwhile, Rennes clearly has difficulty keeping Yann M'Vila if Real Madrid makes an attractive offer.
