The Merengue club’s defensive situation will be a very important topic of discussion in the winter market, with the 18-year-old centre-back representing one of the most viable solutions. Nevertheless, the white president doesn’t see it that way.
Recent injuries at Real Madrid have led Carlo Ancelotti to consider transfer options such as Leny Yoro, a player with a high price tag. Even though he is only 18 years old, his performance is quite high and that could be seen in the last game where his team (Losc Lille) faced PSG. He was the defender who canceled Kylian Mbappé the most.
Although Leny Yoro’s game against the Parisian club was 10 out of 10, the Italian coach already had the French defender on his agenda. Now that David Alaba is injured, There is no better alibi for the Merengue Club not to pursue him. But the surprise is that Florentino Pérez canceled the operation and asked Carletto to be patient and wait until the summer.
For economic reasons, Real Madrid will not pay the price for Leny Yoro
Of course, Lille don’t want to lose their best central defender and have decided to activate the clause on his behalf. That’s 50 million euros, just twice what is estimated. Although it is a figure that the madridista team can afford, the president has decided that they will refuse to carry out the maneuver for financial reasons.
The decision caused great discomfort for Ancelotti as he only has two natural players to take over the defence. These are Antonio Rüdiger and Nacho Fernández, who is playing his last season as a Madridista. The transalpine trainer has no choice but to tackle his alternative plans.
Ancelotti has two options after learning Madrid will not pay the price for Leny Yoro
A commitment for the young central defender is practically impossible, at least in the next winter window. But the defensive problem is latent and will not wait. In fact, there is a LaLiga EA Sports game against Alavés this Thursday. Most likely, the defense pair will consist of the German and the Complutense player.
Ancelotti knows that the former Chelsea player or former one-club man Merengue can suffer a physical setback at any time. Therefore, the coaching staff must take emerging plans into account. One of them is called Aurélien Tchouaméni, a midfielder who can also lead the defensive zone. But if you want a natural centre-back, there are good prospects at Castilla.
