Real Madrid’s 4-0 loss to Barcelona represents a turning point in the season. Although the season is still long, it is time to think about the next steps.
This is the prevailing feeling within the Merengue entity, and according to the newspaper “Defensa Central,” Florentino Perez believes that he may have to resort to the winter transfer market to strengthen the defensive line.
The newspaper added that Trent Alexander-Arnold’s name tops the list of options, as Real Madrid’s management will work to accelerate the deal in January.This decision comes after Lucas Vazquez’s shortcomings became apparent during the match against Hansi Flick’s team.
The sports management will also seek to secure his services, as he would be a significant addition for the second half of the season. It is clear that Carvajal’s injury has negatively affected the team’s performance significantly.
In addition to the right-back, there are voices in Valdebebas indicating the need to sign a central defender capable of putting pressure on Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger, especially in light of the instability of David Alaba’s performance. So, we will need to follow the performance of the white team until the end of the year.
Based on the results, Real Madrid will decide how to deal with the situation, but the main objective for now, on October 27, is to strengthen the defense in the middle of the season.
