Back at the top of LaLiga after an impressive final sprint to finish 2024, the Whites have chased away the doubts of a generally chaotic first part of the season. Carried by an increasingly complicit attack, like a Kylian Mbappé finally freed, the Madrid club seems to have found its cruising speed. However, everything is not yet perfect for Casa Blanca, especially in terms of the infirmary.
With long-term injuries to Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, not to mention the fragility of David Alaba, Carlo Ancelotti regularly has to deal with a revamped defense. Enough to push the Merengue management to get active during the next winter transfer window? Nothing is less certain. According to the latest information from Sportand to the great dismay of Madrid supporters, the residents of the Bernabéu should not move an ear on the transfer market in January.
Real Madrid is banking on its internal resources!
Despite announced interests, such as for Trent Alexander-Arnold or Alphonso Davies, in Madrid, there will therefore be no movement during the winter, barring a big surprise or unforeseen departure. While the Madrid club faces a shortage of central defenders and has seen the right lane of its defense be weakened drastically by Carvajal’s serious knee injury, Florentino Perez has indeed decided to trust his men in place .
Now used to the position, Lucas Vazquez has shown some good things as a full-back, while Aurélien Tchouameni seems to enjoy a step lower. If Antonio Rüdiger continues to hold his position and Jesús Vallejo can also be called into the axis of defense, the rise in power of the revelation Raúl Asencio also gives an additional alternative to Carlo Ancelotti. From then on, the Italian technician should continue tinkering until next summer, a period when Real Madrid should then be more active, particularly on the free agent market.
