Real Madrid will look for Alaba's replacement in January, confirms Ancelotti

The Los Blancos were hit with another injury news after Alaba suffered ACL

With David Alaba’s critical injury, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is desperately trying to strengthen his defence.

Ancelotti is looking for a centre-defender who can fit in well and make a contribution right away because of the demanding schedule in early 2024. He’s looking to bring in a young, gifted player or an accomplished defender with a lot of experience playing in the highest leagues.

Aware of the club’s budgetary plan, Ancelotti is concentrating on individuals skilled in handling both domestic and Champions League obstacles to find a trustworthy yet affordable option.

Although the coaching staff is confident in the Rüdiger-Nacho combination right now, more defensive strength is desperately needed. We eagerly await the club’s decision, which will weigh Ancelotti’s request against financial responsibility.

In order to sign a CB, Real Madrid will open the transfer window in January, as Alaba regrettably sustained an ACL injury during last night’s game against Villarreal.

Having Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Eder Militão among the injured players, this was Real Madrid’s third ACL injury of the year and their third in defence.

During the January transfer window, Real Madrid was supposed to maintain composure, but yesterday night, that all changed.

With only Nacho and Rüdiger available for defence, Real Madrid will be looking to add a CB in January.

Real Madrid started working right away because there wasn’t much time left, and potential names had already been mentioned.

Another of the defenders on Real Madrid’s roster is 18-year-old Lille native Leny Yoro. As one of the most gifted CBs available right now, Leny Yoro is exactly the kind of youthful prospect the club wishes to keep banking on. He completely negated Mbappé and his fellow players throughout his performance against PSG last night. He also plays for France U21.
