Despite the cascade of injuries suffered by Real Madrid, Raphaël Varane will not return to Santiago-Bernabeu this winter.
Raphaël Varane’s future continues to be very uncertain. While he seemed stuck at Manchester United, the French defender has found playing time in recent weeks. And if a departure in January might have seemed likely a few weeks ago, that is no longer quite the case today.
Either way, there is one thing that is certain, and that is that Varane will not return to Real Madrid. The former Merengue could, however, have been an option to help out his former club, which is suffering serious injuries to David Alaba and Eder Militao. But that’s not Real’s plan.
“We are not considering recruiting another central defender, assured Carlo Ancelotti this Tuesday at a press conference. We are missing two important ones, but we have two others in whom we have a lot of confidence like Nacho and Rüdiger. And then we have others for emergency cases like Camavinga and Carvajal. »
No recruits for Real Madrid
Generally speaking, and despite a squad that is small to say the least for a club of this standing, Ancelotti ensures that Real Madrid “I’m not going to recruit this winter.” The Italian coach mainly intends to rely on the return from injury of certain players.
“We cannot compare the cases of Carvajal, Vinicius and Güler because the latter has a longer injury, explained Ancelotti about the players being played again. I haven’t yet decided what I will do with Vinicius tomorrow because I have to talk to him and the doctors. However, he has shown in training that he is very good. »
