Cascading injuries are pushing Real Madrid to hit hard this winter. An English track could well change the situation…
Faced with an avalanche of injuries affecting its defense, Real Madrid has no choice but to react during the winter transfer window. The prolonged unavailability of Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy and Eder Militao considerably weakens the club's ambitions for the second part of the season. According to consistent sources, the Merengue have their eyes set on the Premier League, and more precisely on two Manchester United players.
Carlo Ancelotti, keen to preserve the competitiveness of his team, would have identified Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez as priority targets. The Italian technician sees in these two profiles the ideal solutions to plug the gaps in a decimated defense. A bold strategy, but not without obstacles.
Almost impossible tracks for Real?
Although attractive, the idea of recruiting Dalot or Martinez could quickly clash with the reality of Manchester United's needs. New Red Devils coach Ruben Amorim is banking on a three-man defense, making the presence of his key defenders crucial. Releasing one of them in the middle of the season therefore seems highly unlikely.
In addition, Real will have to deal with the complexity of a winter transfer window that is often not conducive to big transfers. But the pressure is great: without reinforcements, the chances of success in La Liga and the Champions League could diminish.
Winter transfer window: a crucial issue for Real Madrid
The defensive project therefore promises to be the absolute priority for Florentino Pérez and his teams. It remains to be seen whether the Merengue will be able to convince their English counterparts to let go of essential players. An arduous mission, but essential to keep Real Madrid at the top of European football.
