Faced with Dani Carvajal’s injury, Real Madrid are reportedly considering a French player to act as interim manager.
This would be a first in six years: Real Madrid taking advantage of the winter market to strengthen its team. Since 2018, in fact, President Florentino Perez has refused to destabilize his workforce during the winter break – with some success to boot, it is true. However, recent events will a priori push the White House to review its principles.
The recruitment of a central defender has been in the air in Madrid for many months – witness the Merengue interest this summer for Lille’s Leny Yoro, finally leaving for Manchester United. However according to Marca, the serious injury to Dani Carvajal on Saturday evening will certainly force Real to strengthen its backline this winter, with one or even two versatile players such as the Spanish international, victim of a ruptured cruciate knee ligament. right.
Alexander-Arnold on the shelves too
Still if we are to believe the sports daily mentioned, the priority target of the reigning European champions would be none other than the international Espoirs tricolor of RB Leipzig Castello Lukeba – not really a right back but a player capable of relieving the axis of the Madrid defense to allow a shift or offer Carlo Ancelotti the possibility of a three-central rearguard.
With such reinforcement, the French community of Real, already made up of Kylian Mbappé, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Ferland Mendy, would only be more imposing and influential in the biggest club in the world. Note that the White House is also closely studying the cases of Victor Reis (Palmeiras), Jorrel Hato (Ajax) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool). The English international’s rating is all the more interesting as he reaches the end of his contract next June. However, discussions for a possible extension with the Reds are not closed at this time.
