Spain is in shock. After Gavi’s serious injury on Sunday evening against Georgia, the awakening is, in fact, more than painful across the Pyrenees, particularly for FC Barcelona, mad with rage and who risks having to do without their nugget until the end of the season. A terrible disappointment which comes just a few hours after Vinicius Junior’s injury with Brazil. Enough, here too, to plunge the Madrid rival into a delicate situation. Already faced with a real massacre, the Merengues could, in fact, have to do without the services of the native of São Gonçalo, victim of a ruptured biceps femoris, for the next two months.
After the successive injuries to Thibaut Courtois, Éder Militão, Aurélien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga, Carlo Ancelotti sees his squad more decimated than ever, particularly in attack. Already poorly equipped in the offensive sector, the current second in La Liga can, of course, rely on Joselu and Rodrygo but the Madrid management cannot be satisfied with this, especially for a club aspiring to win all competitions. In this context, Sport revealed this Monday that the Merengues would consider the possibility of strengthening their attack line during the next winter transfer window.
Real Madrid wants to revive a flop!
Orphaned by Vinicius Junior for the next few weeks and faced with the risk that Joselu and/or Rodrygo also get injured by then, Real Madrid would therefore like to enlist a real goalscorer during the next winter window. Whether in the form of a direct transfer or a loan, Casa Blanca would think, in this respect, of a certain Timo Werner. Returning to Leipzig after a disappointing spell with Chelsea, the 27-year-old German international (57 caps, 24 goals) has been experiencing major difficulties in recent months with two small goals and one assist in 13 matches in all competitions. An option that is surprising and risky to say the least but which seems more accessible than ever since the German club would not rule out, for its part, a departure in January.
Recently contacted by us, Tobias Feldhoff, journalist for Football Transfersnotably confirmed this trend. “I think he lacks a certain quality in football. He can run fast and shoot, but that’s it. His return is a failure. Marco Rose counts on different players, who are technically better like Xavi Simons and Loïs Openda. I am sure that he is looking for a new club this winter in order to have a chance of participating in the Euro.. Aware of the difficulty of affording a world-class scorer during this winter period, Real Madrid could therefore take the gamble of reviving a flop. To be continued…
