We are only a few months away before the January transfer window opens up, giving Real Madrid the opportunity to address a few of the holes in the squad.
Although Los Blancos has started the season almost flawlessly, the club do require reinforcements in certain areas, including the attacking and the fullback positions.
Real Madrid unlikely to sign players in January
However, according to a report from MARCA, Real Madrid are unlikely to go after new players in the upcoming January transfer window.
This comes even after calls for reinforcements in key areas, including the aforementioned positions, where the club desperately require depth.
Real Madrid have even been linked with moves for several players in the market, though most will be viable options only in the coming summer.
Florentino Perez’s policy in January
The report points out that one of the key reasons behind Real Madrid’s relative inactivity in January is the policy of Florentino Perez.
Under Perez’s presidency, Real Madrid have always avoided signing players in the winter market. They do not believe in signing players during this part of the season.
On the flip side, potential exits from Real Madrid will depend on the players, but it remains to be seen whether or not any departures will influence the club to sign players.
For emergency situations, Real Madrid’s plan is to give chances to young players rather than relying on the market. The club, after all, have unearthed a host of talents from the academy in recent years.
As for the market, Real Madrid’s priority is to sign Kylian Mbappe in the summer of 2024, though the club are also keeping tabs on Erling Haaland’s situation at Manchester City.
