Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s strategist in charge, spoke to the press ahead of his team’s exciting final game of the season against Alavés in Vitoria this Thursday. However, the most notable news from the press conference was his announcement that the Whites team would soon sign in the next January market due to David Alaba’s recent injury.
The Italian coach confirmed that Real Madrid are actively exploring the possibility of strengthening their squad with a new central defender following the loss of Alaba. Although he did not provide any specific information about the profile of the player he was looking for, he made it clear that they were in discussions with the club in order to make the best possible decision.
“I’m not saying no, we have spoken to the club, we will evaluate it in these days, we have time,” explained Ancelotti. “The January market does not end until the 31st of this month, we will look for the best possible solution. We’re in no rush at the moment. We will finish the year well and then it will be time to make the best possible decision.”
The injury sped everything up
The injury to David Alaba, a key player in Real Madrid’s defense, has left a hole in the squad that the club is desperate to fill. Ancelotti, known for his experience and skill in managing elite teams, wants to ensure Real Madrid remains a strong contender in all competitions.
The news that Real Madrid will be looking for reinforcements in January will certainly be met with enthusiasm by fans as they look forward to seeing how the team tackles the challenges ahead in the second half of the season.
