Real Madrid are in deep reflection after Dani Carvajal’s serious injury during the match against Villarreal. Four options would present themselves to Carlo Ancelotti.
The club plans to strengthen itself from the winter transfer window, with interest now well known in Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool full-back, whose contract expires next June, is one of the priority targets. Carvajal’s injury hastened things, while Real’s initial plan was to try to sign the Englishman this summer. But with the strong links between Trent and Jude Bellingham, a quicker arrival could be on the cards.
However, the Merengues could also decide to rely on internal solutions. Lucas Vazquez, used to occupying this full-back position despite his training as a winger, could have his chance. Carlo Ancelotti also does not rule out the possibility of testing young people from the training center, like Lorène Aguado or David Jiménez. The club has its work cut out for it before important matches like the Clasico against FC Barcelona.
