As the opening of the winter transfer window approaches, Real Madrid would consider strengthening its rear guard with a vice-captain from PSG. A totally unexpected blow.
Mercato: Real Madrid is thinking of a long-term injured PSG
Faced with an avalanche of injuries, particularly in defense with David Alaba and Eder Militao, Real Madrid should recruit in this sector of play during the next winter transfer window. And according to the latest rumors, the Madrid club would follow in the footsteps of Presnel Kimpembe. After 638 days of absence due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, the French central defender has finally returned to collective training with the PSG squad.
Without appearing on the match sheet, he was even present in the group beaten by Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the fifth day of the Champions League. The return of Kimpembe is a real breath of fresh air for the Parisian defense which has suffered from numerous injuries this season. His experience and leadership will be valuable for the months to come.
Except that Real Madrid would like to attract him in January. Weakened by numerous injuries in defense, the Merengues are actively seeking to strengthen themselves for the second half of the season. The qualities of Presnel Kimpembe, in particular his versatility and his aerial play, would make him a valuable reinforcement for Carlo Ancelotti.
In addition, his market value, strongly impacted by his injury, would make him an affordable target for Florentino Pérez's club, who could benefit from the support of Kylian Mbappé to convince his former teammate.

Faced with the numerous injuries which are decimating its defense, Real Madrid would be looking for significant reinforcement during the next winter transfer window. According to the Spanish media Todofichajes, the Spanish club would have checked the name of Presnel Kimpembe, the central defender of Paris Saint-Germain.
Unavailable for a long time due to an Achilles tendon injury, the French international has returned to competition and seems to have regained all his physical abilities. However, his starting place is not assured within the Parisian defense, where the pair Marquinhos – Willian Pacho seems to be favored by the new coach, Luis Enrique.
Real Madrid would therefore like to take advantage of this situation to make an approach in the coming weeks. The Spanish media also specifies that Mbappé would push to see his compatriot land in the White House, believing that he has the qualities and above all the mentality to bring Carlo Ancelotti's team back on track. It remains to be seen whether Presnel Kimpembe will be open to a departure, he who would like, just like the club, to spend his entire career at PSG, his favorite club. To be continued…
