Real Madrid's right-back position remains uncertain ahead of new season

Real Madrid's pre-season has showcased Denzel Dumfries and Trent Alexander-Arnold as contenders for the right-back position. Manager Jose Mourinho has rotated their roles in friendly matches to assess their capabilities. Dumfries was signed for €20 million and has shown versatility, while Alexander-Arnold looks to assert his place after a challenging first season. The uncertainty in selection may be a tactical strategy by Mourinho as the team continues to integrate new players. No final decision on the starting right-back has been made as pre-season progresses.
