Real Madrid monitors Stuttgart's Finn Jeltsch amid centre-back concerns

Summary

Real Madrid is tracking VfB Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch, according to AS. The La Liga club is not urgently seeking a defender, with several players like Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão on their roster. However, Rüdiger's contract is expiring, and concerns about Militão's injury history have prompted Madrid's interest in the market. Jeltsch has also attracted attention from Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Manchester United. Recently, he received his first senior call-up to the Germany national team for UEFA Nations League matches, with a potential debut against Serbia on the horizon.
