Real Madrid intend to be active in the winter transfer market. La Casa Blanca are preparing to sign a new defender, as Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Monday.
Real Madrid have embarked on an ambitious policy of recruiting high-potential young talent. Florentino Perez believes in this strategy and has already signed a number of under-25s.
From Vinicius Jr to Kylian Mbappe, not forgetting Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, Endrick, Arda Güler, Camavinga and Tchouameni, Real Madrid want to establish themselves on the European stage for decades to come with players who know each other perfectly and who have grown up together.
This season, Real Madrid are experiencing difficulties, particularly at the back. Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao have ruptured ligaments and are unlikely to play again this season. Carlo Ancelotti is still awaiting the return of David Alaba, who has been injured since December 2023. This reduces the Transalpine coach’s defensive options. But Real Madrid are on the verge of completing their first winter signing.
Lamini Fati is set to sign for Real Madrid
To everyone’s surprise, Real Madrid are on the verge of signing a central defender. According to Relevo and confirmed on Monday by Fabrizio Romano, Florentino Perez is set to spend €100,000 to sign Lamini Fati, an 18-year-old centre-back from La Liga side Leganés.

Deal almost done with Leganés, personal terms also agreed with Fati who’d join the Juvenil A team.

According to the Italian mercato journalist, Lamini Fati will initially join the Fabrica under Alvaro Arbeloa. As he progresses, he will be brought into the first team. This was the strategy adopted with Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes when they left Brazil at the age of 18 to join the Casa Blanca. In any case, Fati will become a new face at Valdebebas over the coming weeks, and Carlo Ancelotti will be able to keep an eye on him like oil on the fire.
