Real Madrid are going through a turbulent period, marked by an epidemic of injuries in their defensive sector. With a single central defender, Antonio Rüdiger, operational and no professional right-back available, the need for reinforcements seems obvious. However, a major disagreement divides the club’s leaders regarding the winter transfer window.
Ancelotti and sports management demand reinforcements
According to RelevoCarlo Ancelotti and José Ángel Sánchez, Florentino Pérez’s right-hand man, insist on the urgency of recruiting from January. Several names are circulating to strengthen the defense, including Aymeric Laporte (Al-Nassr), Castello Lukeba (RB Leipzig) and Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen) for the central hinge, as well as Trent Alexander-Arnold, considered the ideal target for the position right side.
Florentino Pérez slows down the enthusiasm
However, Florentino Pérez, president of the club, does not share this enthusiasm. He believes that winter recruitment is not essential and prefers to save for an ambitious summer transfer window. In addition, he points out the high cost of certain players, like Aymeric Laporte, which would increase the financial burden in the middle of the season.
This disagreement creates internal tensions, highlighting a clash between the immediate sporting ambitions of Carlo Ancelotti and the financial prudence of Florentino Pérez.
