Real Madrid has shown a good amount of reluctance when it comes to recruiting players in January, despite the fact that they have been dealt a number of injuries during the course of the season.
It is due to the fact that the club adheres to a strong attitude of avoiding making significant expenditures during the winter transfer window. All of that, however, is about to change because to David Alaba’s recent injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Real Madrid has decided to alter its plans.
There has been a change of plans at Real Madrid, as far as the forthcoming transfer window in January is concerned, according to a story that was published by Diario AS (with attribution to Madrid Xtra).
As a result of the alarmingly high number of injuries sustained by the team, it would seem that the Spanish giants are finally going to be able to buy some players during the winter transfer window.
This comes only a short time after David Alaba became the most recent player to suffer an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which is the third such hit that the team has suffered this season.
Due to the fact that the Austrian player will not be available until the conclusion of the season, Real Madrid’s defensive unit is now suffering from a severe lack of personnel.
Real Madrid’s most pressing issues and concerns
It goes without saying that Real Madrid is not going to go all out in the market, and it is anticipated that they will just concentrate on the most significant issue areas.
For example, the defense unit is one of them. In light of the fact that Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, and now Alaba have all been ruled out owing to injuries to their anterior cruciate ligaments, the team is in serious need of the acquisition of a new central defender.
In light of the fact that Dani Carvajal is far beyond his peak and Lucas Vazquez is also nearing the end of his time at Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid may also want to acquire a right-back.
Despite the fact that there is a great deal of enthusiasm over the imminent arrival of Endrick, who was present in the Villarreal game, the acquisition of a new forward can also be the need of the hour.
