“We are not going to sign in winter,” was one of the sentences they said in the offices of Valdebebas when rumors of a signing surfaced in January. Now, everything has changed. They no longer say it with certainty and even yesterdayAncelotti did not close the door on signing in January.
The reason for this change is the serious damage of praise against Villarreal. The center back will miss the rest of the season and for now, Ancelotti is the only one available Rüdiger and Nacho as the only healthy center backs in the squad. Militao pHe could return in March or April and Real Madrid cannot risk waiting for the Brazilian to return. Ancelotti’s emergency solution was to use Tchouaméni as central.
In this panorama, the white club’s options are to use the youth system, something that seems difficult for Ancelotti, or to sign. In the quarry there are players like Carrillo, Marvel and Jacobo Ramón. Another youth player is Rafa Marín qHe is on loan at Alavés and will return in the summer, but could do so in January, subject to a prior agreement with Alavés.
Real Madrid are scouring the market to find a central defender who fits two profiles. Or a veteran who came on loan, repeating what he did with Kepa, and there he appears Varane, that he is not playing for United and wants to leave the British club. The Frenchman knows Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti very well. The name ofand Laporte tHe also appeared as a possible reinforcement, but his departure from Saudi football does not seem easy.
Another profile is a young central defender who came to Real Madrid to stay for many years. The French Lenny Yoro, 18 years old and playing for Lille, is a player who is making a lot of noise at Real Madrid, a club that has been monitoring him for a long time. Madrid’s idea was to try to sign him in the summer, but now everything could change. Although for Yoro, there are a number of teams that want him, such as PSG and some Premier clubs.
In addition to Leny Yoro, there are two young Portuguese center-backs that Real Madrid have pursued. One of them is Gonçalo Inácio, 22 year old center back for Sporting de Portugal. Another is Anthony Silva20 years old and playing for Benfica.
Real Madrid are looking at the market to close the arrival of a central defender as soon as possible because they want to get him for the Spanish Super Cup, in the second week of January.
