For several weeks, Real Madrid has had a string of bad news. Indeed, several elements have joined the infirmary, like Eder Militão who will spend the rest of the season there. To replace him, the Merengues are hesitating between recruiting a defender this winter or betting on a youngster from home. And according to the Cadena SERCarlo Ancelotti made his choice regarding this precise point. Spanish radio explains that the Italian technician asked his management to buy a central defender during the month of January.
He believes that the club’s young players, especially Castilla, are not yet mature enough and ready to play regularly with the first team. Moreover, Ancelotti still appreciates the profile of Aymeric Laporte. But recruiting him will be complicated since Al-Nassr will ask for a big check to let him go. There Cadena SER adds that Ancelotti will bend to the wishes of his club, if it fails to find the right fit. For his part, Florentino Pérez, who does not like to go shopping in winter, listens to his coach and could grant his request if a good opportunity were to present itself.
