Argentine international Ezequiel Garay is largely seen as Cannavaro's successor in a white shirt; the newly-signed Madrid man is on loan at Racing, but his arrival at the Bernabéu in summer should coincide with Fabio's departure.
The veteran Italian's contract runs out midway through 2009, and though Garay will most likely serve as a straight swap, there is still room for improvement in a Madrid back line that some say lacks depth in the middle.
Thus it is thought that Madrid are seeking an option to compete with Pepe and Garay for a starting berth, and at present there are two main targets.
The first, Daniel Agger, is a 23-year-old Dane who plays for Liverpool. Rumours of his unrest at Anfield abound, but while these have been downplayed by coach Rafael Benítez it remains the case that he has had few starting places this season. His contract on Merseyside expires in 2010.
Another option is Per Mertesacker of Werder Bremen. 24 years of age, the former Hannover man is a first choice at the Weserstadion and remains under contract until 2012. Consequently he may be a great deal more expensive than Agger, but he remains highly regarded by some observers in Spain.
