Weighed down by injuries to Militao, Carvajal and Alaba, Real Madrid plans to recruit a defender during the winter transfer window. A loan from Milan Skriniar from Paris Saint-Germain is being studied.
This season again, Real Madrid is not spared from injuries. Last year, the Merengue club had already been diminished by physical problems and this has once again been the case since the start of the season. The defensive sector of Carlo Ancelotti’s team is particularly decimated. David Alaba, absent for several months, is taking longer than expected to return while in recent weeks, Eder Militao (muscle injury) and in the longer term Dani Carvajal (cruciate ligaments) have been added to the list of players on the flank . This is not Real Madrid’s habit but this time, Florentino Pérez will have no other choice than to recruit during the January transfer window.
The objective is to recruit a central defender and a right back, without breaking the bank because the club from the Spanish capital will favor big investments next summer. To everyone’s surprise, Real could call on Paris Saint-Germain in this emergency situation. According to information from Todo Fichajes, Real Madrid is interested in a loan from Milan Skriniar, which is not part of Luis Enrique’s plans in Paris. Despite a colossal salary, the former Inter captain interests Carlo Ancelotti, who appreciates his experience and leadership. Real Madrid do not want to invest long-term in the Slovak, but would like to get him back for a six-month loan without a purchase option.
An improbable Juve – Real duel for Skriniar?
This option could suit PSG, which would save nearly 6 million euros in payroll with such an operation, even if ideally, the Parisian club would like to part with it permanently. In this matter, the club from the Spanish capital is in competition with Juventus Turin, facing the same problems as Real with the serious injury of Brazilian defender Bremer, out for six months. We didn’t expect it, but Milan Skriniar will unexpectedly cause a big battle during the upcoming transfer window, with both clubs wishing to attract him in the form of a loan. In the event of completely equivalent offers, PSG will not be difficult and will give Milan Skriniar the choice of his destination. The objective for Paris is of course for the Slovak to join a club in which he will play with the aim of being exposed before a potential final sale next June.
