Real Madrid Injury Crisis: Plans to Strengthen Defense in Winter Transfer Period After Alaba’s Season-Ending Injury

Real Madrid suffered a severe blow recently after its player, David Alaba, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and his season ended completely.

The disaster occurred against Villarreal in the match between the two teams in the Spanish League this week, and Alaba added to Real’s pain with injuries, and joined a list that included Vinicius Junior, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, so the club began planning to deal with the situation.

Journalist Arancha Rodriguez came out on the “Deportes COPE” program to reveal Real’s desire to strengthen the defense during the upcoming winter transfer period by signing a new player, but on loan until the end of the season, due to club president Florentino Pérez’s unwillingness to spend heavily in the middle of the season.

At the top of the available options is Rafa Marin, Real defender, who is loaned to Deportivo Alaves for one season, and he will need to enter into negotiations with his current club to end the loan.

The other option is Raphael Varane, the former Real Madrid player, who is struggling to break into coach Erik Ten Hag’s starting lineup at Manchester United, and his arrival will give the team a lot of experience in the back line.

In a related context, journalist Melchor Ruiz said through the program that Real does not rule out contracting with more expensive options if necessary. Commentator Julio Maldonado also nominated the duo Alessandro Bastoni, defender of Inter, and Giorgio Scalvini, defender of Atalanta, because of his belief that coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team needs defenders who can come up with the ball.
