Pau Torres could be a potential target if Unai Emery is appointed, as he has played almost 200 times for the manager between spells with Villarreal and Aston Villa. Madrid considered Torres as a potential target in 2021 before opting for Alaba instead. In an interview released a few months ago, Torres reflected on Madrid’s interest as something that was flattering. A contract lasting until 2028 would be an obstacle to a potential transfer.

Pau Torres has emerged as a target for Real Madrid, with the club impressed by his tactical understanding, composure on the ball and leadership skills. The 15-time Champions League winners are keen on the Spaniard, who currently plays as a centre-back for Aston Villa. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market value at 40 million euros.
