Real Madrid are in desperate need of a central defender, with injuries to Eder Militao, David Alaba, Aurelien Tchouameni and Jacobo Ramon
Which means Carlo Ancelotti only has three options at his disposal: Antonio Rudiger, Raul Asencio and the sidelined Jesus Vallejo. A new player is needed as soon as possible, but it is certain that January will be the first opportunity for someone to join the club.
The door is closed for Ramos
The free agent market was considered, but only Sergio Ramos emerged as a realistic option. However, he will not rejoin the club where he spent 16 years, with Marca reporting that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will not reconsider his stance on the matter.
Ramos has offered himself to Real Madrid, while club icon Guti Hernandez has also called for a sensational return for the 38-year-old. It has also been reported that Ancelotti would welcome the reunion, but ultimately Perez has the last word – and his answer is a definite no.
