Real Madrid faces ongoing concerns in defensive midfield despite Jose Mourinho's previous squad assembly. Mourinho recently identified Bernardo Silva and Aurelien Tchouameni as his preferred midfield duo. However, with Bernardo Silva's age, Real Madrid is looking towards future solutions. Spanish football analyst Maldini, speaking on his YouTube channel, has proposed Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic as an intriguing option for Los Blancos.

The 22-year-old German international has become a key player for Bayern Munich, known for his composure in possession and ability to organize play. Maldini believes Pavlovic, who is dynamic and gets forward, could gradually develop into a regular starter at Madrid, even if not immediately. He highlighted Pavlovic's intelligent distribution and progressive movement as qualities that make him a strong candidate for the club's future midfield.
