Real Madrid Won’t Acquire Defensive Player Despite Alaba’s Injury

The team has made the decision to remain in the transfer market as planned.

Real Madrid Won't Acquire Defensive Player Despite Alaba's Injury

With their resounding victory over Villarreal, Real Madrid is still reeling from the shock of David Alaba‘s catastrophic injury. Overshadowing the team’s outstanding on-field performance was Carlo Ancelotti’s face, which conveyed his dismay at the disaster that befell the Austrian center-back.

Real Madrid has been experiencing success lately, overcoming a string of injuries and concentrating on their long-term goals in the transfer market.

This setback comes at a bad time. The White House’s unwavering objective is to not enter the winter transfer market, even with Militao and Alaba’s absences dealing serious blows to the defensive line.

Until the club’s directors decide to change their mind about not making any winter moves, Rüdiger, Nacho, and Tchouameni will be the core of Ancelotti’s defensive lineup for the rest of the season. Reevaluating possible reinforcements is necessary in light of recent developments, even if Real Madrid had originally prioritized strengthening the left-back position for the forthcoming season.

Real Madrid intends to consult its youth program

This season, Carrillo, Marvel, and Jacobo Ramón are just a few of the talented center backs that have emerged from the junior school. Despite the potential displayed by these individuals, the club understands the value of seasoned expertise, as demonstrated by Rafa Marín’s loan stint at Madrid’s upcoming league opponent, Alavés.

Andalusian center backs have been rumored to be possible targets, but Madrid is determined to stick to current agreements, including Marín’s loan to Alavés. It has been mentioned that players with a Madrid background, such as Chust at Cádiz and Gila at Lazio, are not being considered for recruitment.

Assuming young, talented players is Real Madrid’s steadfast approach, until they present themselves as unexpected loan options for players they have already purchased. Two names have been mentioned often in the gossip media in recent weeks. Leny Yoro, an 18-year-old Frenchman from Lille who has international recognition and top-flight experience, is the first player that impressed PSG.

It wasn’t planned to sign a strong center-back like Yoro right away before Alaba got hurt. But the disappointment has made me consider revising my original goals. That being said, the Bernabeu’s general message is to keep things as they are and avoid getting involved in the winter transfer market.
