As a result of the injury sustained by Dani Carvajal, Real Madrid is now facing a dilemma in their defensive position, and Carlo Ancelotti has just six defenders available to choose from.
The situation is even more dire at the right-back position, as Lucas Vazquez is the only reliable option that is now available.
It is possible that Real Madrid may be obliged to extend their hand during the forthcoming January transfer window due to the fact that Carvajal has been ruled out for the whole of the season.
In January, Real Madrid is contemplating making a deal for Alexander-Arnold.
In light of this, a report that was published not too long ago by Diario SPORT made a surprising claim, stating that the club is mulling over the possibility of making a transfer in January for the top target Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Real Madrid has been interested in Alexander-Arnold for a considerable amount of time. They have just begun contract negotiations with the sensational player from Liverpool, who will be a free agency at the conclusion of the current season.
In the past, Florentino Perez, the president of Madrid, has often shown reluctance to make midseason additions that may potentially disturb the budget.
However, given that Real Madrid intends to fight on numerous fronts, it is becoming more and more obvious that the squad will not be able to maintain its present level of performance without the addition of reinforcements.
Alexander-Arnold, who is a good friend of Jude Bellingham, a great player for Real Madrid, was already encouraged to make the move to the Bernabeu in the summer of 2019.
Nevertheless, in light of the current situation, Madrid may seriously consider accelerating his transfer to Liverpool for the month of January by presenting Liverpool with a cash package in return for the remaining six months on his contract.
In addition, it has been claimed that the club has quickly moved forward with their ambitions to acquire Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich for the summer of 2019. In spite of the fact that his presence would significantly strengthen Madrid’s defense, quick solutions are required in order to manage the current injury issues.
With their backs against the wall, Los Blancos may have little choice but to make a rare splash in the transfer market during the month of January in order to prevent a collapse in their defensive capabilities.
