Real Madrid are preparing to experience a decisive week with three highlights. First of all, the match against Leganés after the international break. Then, the assembly of members scheduled for this Sunday, November 24, where Florentino Pérez should reassure about the financial solidity of the club, with expected criticism towards UEFA, Javier Tebas and the Ballon d'Or.
Defeat against Liverpool, active transfer window?
The third and most crucial event is the Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield. And according to Cadena SER, this duel could influence Real Madrid's recruitment strategy. Long injuries to Carvajal and Militao have weakened the defense, while the departure of Kroos and the absence of a leader in midfield weigh on performances. In the event of a defeat against Liverpool, the club could finally completely change their tune and attack the winter market, with Alexander Arnold at the top of the list of targets.
On the left-back position, the arrival of Alphonso Davies is almost confirmed for next season. This could lead to the departures of Ferland Mendy and Fran García, depending on whether or not Real Madrid decide to activate the buyout clause of Miguel Gutiérrez, currently at Girona. This week could therefore redefine the club's sporting plans based on immediate results.
