Real Madrid deliberately went into the new season with a relatively lean squad; Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t have too many options to choose from, especially in defense. Therefore, after the serious injury to Dani Carvajal, who will be out until the end of the season, there was speculation that the Royals could add to the transfer market in the winter.
“First of all, we are very sorry for Dani because he is a very important player. We are losing him for the next few months as a player, but not as a leader in the dressing room, because he will be here and work with us,” shared Ancelotti on Friday with. “We won’t be able to use his strength, but we will be able to use his head.”
The Real coach rejected reports that he would like to sign a new player in the winter: “I didn’t ask the club for reinforcements because we dealt well with the injuries we had last year. That will also be the case “This season will be like that,” he clarified.
He didn’t want to completely rule out a transfer in the winter if they found “the ideal player”; But this is not that easy. That’s why we’re focusing on our own young talents “who can make their contribution.” In addition, David Alaba will be returning soon and, according to the Italian, he is recovering well and will be able to work with the team again soon. “That’s why we’re not thinking about signing him at the moment,” confirmed Ancelotti.
In Madrid, they are sticking to their aversion to winter transfers. The Whites rarely sign players over the course of a season; Brahim Diaz and Reinier have been the exceptions in recent years.
