As speculation runs high about Real Madrid, seriously weakened by the recent injuries to Éder Militão, Lucas Vázquez, and Dani Carvajal, Florentino Pérez is said to have given his approval for one or more signings, but with a condition.
Real Madrid is making headlines. For several weeks, the biggest club in the Spanish capital has been the subject of intense debate regarding its team. While the performances of certain players, such as Kylian Mbappé, are generating a lot of ink, the team’s situation, which now has only one starting central defender available to finish the year 2024, is causing great concern. With about six weeks left in the year, Éder Militão’s serious injury leaves Antonio Rüdiger as the only mainstay in defence.
Florentino Pérez is OK with signings
Added to Dani Carvajal’s injury a few weeks earlier, the situation has truly worsened for Carlo Ancelotti. Since the new injury cases observed on November 9th, Florentino Pérez has been in the spotlight. Indeed, faced with the urgency, the Madrid boss should outline the course of action before the winter transfer window, such as recruiting a player as a medical joker right now to support Rüdiger or Lucas Vázquez on the right side.
And while speculation is rife, Relevo indicates that the 77-year-old boss has given the green light for signings. Although he currently rules out the option of a medical joker that could have led to the transfer of Sergio Ramos, eager to return and help, Florentino Pérez is open to one or more signings in 2025.
The only condition for signing in January
However, to determine whether to recruit in January during the winter transfer window or wait until the end of the season to strengthen the team for the next season, Real Madrid’s leaders are waiting to see the team’s upcoming matches. According to information from Defensa Central, Carlo Ancelotti’s team will only be strengthened in January in the event of a debacle at Liverpool and poor performances in the other remaining matches before 2025.
In short, it should be noted that Real Madrid’s primary idea is to trust the young reserve players, such as Raúl Asencio, to accompany Antonio Rüdiger in central defence, or to reposition Aurélien Tchouaméni, as in the past. On the right side of the defence as well, it will be Federico Valverde and possibly the young Loren Aguado who will cover for the absence of Lucas Vázquez, currently injured.
In the event of good defensive performances in the upcoming big matches, it will simply be necessary to forget about a January signing and wait until June to welcome new names.
