The Merengues are in a somewhat paradoxical situation. Despite the defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League and generally quite bad feelings, Carlo Ancelotti’s men are just one point behind Barça, with one game less than the Catalans. The results are therefore clearly not bad, despite this suspicion of crisis which hangs over the Bernabéu.
It should also be noted that the Merengues are facing an avalanche of injuries, especially in the defensive sector. Éder Militão will not play again this season, while we do not yet know when we will be able to see David Alaba again. Dani Carvajal is also out for all that remains of this 2024/2025 financial year, and his replacement, Lucas Vazquez, was also injured before returning. Even if the official message from Real Madrid remains the same – there will be no recruits during the winter transfer window – the Madrid media are convinced that management is working behind the scenes to bring in new faces in January.
A substantial price
If the name of Trent Alexander-Arnold comes up often, he whose contract at Liverpool expires in June, Relevo indicates that the Madrilenians are interested in a new full-back as a plan B for the British international: Diogo Dalot. Real Madrid have already inquired with their counterparts at Manchester United, who have informed them that the price of the Portuguese has been set at 50 million euros.
It now remains to be seen what the intentions of the main person concerned, voted best player of the 2023/2024 season at Manchester United by his teammates, will be. The arrival of his compatriot Ruben Amorim could also reshuffle the cards for the player who cost the Red Devils 22 million euros in 2018, and who could further gain importance in the team.
