Aston Villa star confirms Real Madrid interest in 2021 and explains why transfer collapsed: ‘I understand why they signed Alaba instead’

Aston Villa defender Pau Torres recently revealed that he was among the players evaluated by Real Madrid during the summer transfer window in 2021. The Spanish center-back explained that his potential transfer did not materialize because club officials ultimately decided to pursue David Alaba instead.

Alaba became an available option without a transfer fee following the expiration of his contract with Bayern Munich. Torres acknowledged the logic behind that choice, noting that the experienced Austrian defender presented a more established profile at that stage of his career.
