The situation is complicated at Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti and the Whites are facing a fairly significant injury epidemic, particularly in the defensive sector, where there is currently no professional right-back and only one central defender – Antonio Rüdiger – is available. Suffice it to say that in everyone’s eyes, reinforcements are imperative in defense, starting in January.
A winter market during which the Merengues are generally quite calm. Many names have already come out in the Spanish press, with Aymeric Laporte (Al-Nassr), Castello Lukeba (RB Leizpig) and Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen) as the main options for the hinge, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is the priority target for the right side of the defense.
Pérez air-conditions everyone
But now Relevo tells us a lot of information. Internally, not everyone is on the same wavelength for this winter transfer window. The media thus indicates that Carlo Ancelotti and José Ángel Sánchez, general director and right-hand man of Florentino Pérez, want to see new players arrive in January. But the president is not particularly keen on Real Madrid recruiting this winter… Clearly, there is a clash between the thinking heads at Casa Blanca.
The boss of the Spanish capital club is not convinced of the need to recruit, and is also thinking about the financial side, with players who risk being quite expensive. Aymeric Laporte is cited as an example of a player who would cost the Merengues a certain amount of money if they decide to go on the attack in January. He prefers to wait until the summer transfer window to bring in new players, and he is even ready to invest significantly in the summer. It is therefore very likely that Carlo Ancelotti and the Madrid supporters will be disappointed in January…
