It looks like Carlo Ancelotti will not be replaced this season, in a meeting yesterday it became clear that all the blame for Real Madrid’s poor start to the season is not just the manager’s fault.
Some fans are calling for a return for Zinedine Zidane, which would certainly be good, but the Real Madrid president is a little scared when “zizu” is in the close-up. Kylian Mbappe is not unifying for the team and with an imbalance in the long run, Real Madrid have gone on a bang against Barcelona 0 – 4 in La Liga and most recently against AC Milan in the Champins League with a loss 1 – 3.
Read: Manchester United gear up with at least two signings for what will be a busy winter
The Merengue team is going through a complicated moment at the beginning of this season.
Real Madrid breaks with the tradition of staying calm in the winter market. The club’s sporting direction has stressed the urgency of making two signings that can stabilize the team: a right-back and a centre-back to strengthen the defence and minimise the mistakes that have affected the last few games.
The right-back position is now a top priority for Real Madrid, especially after Dani Carvajal’s injury has left Lucas Vázquez the only specialist in that position. Although it was considered to wait until the summer of 2025 to sign a significant player, circumstances have expedited the search.
Real Madrid need to improve their defense
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s name stands out on the list of candidates, but his arrival will not be easy as Liverpool have no intention of selling, and the Englishman remains a key player. Nonetheless, Real Madrid are exploring options, understanding that a quality reinforcement in that position is crucial for the rest of the season.
In addition to the right-back, Real Madrid are considering adding a centre-back to provide solidity and consistency. Among the potential signings is Castello Lukeba, who currently plays for RB Leipzig, which despite recently renewing his contract, is still a viable option. This addition aims to alleviate defensive concerns, given that both Eder Militao and David Alaba have dealt with injuries in recent times.
The scheduling of these signings marks a new strategy for Real Madrid, which understands that correcting these defensive problems is essential to get back on the path to success and pursue the goals of the season.
