Real Madrid said they would not sign him in January despite the lack of a defender.

"Real Madrid has been hit hard by a defender's injury, but coach Carlo Ancelotti will have to be creative as he will not recruit in January," British media "Goalcom" reported on the 22nd (Korea time).

Real Madrid is off to a rough start to the season, currently trailing La Liga leaders Barcelona by six points due to a number of injuries and Ancelotti's tactical problems. Real Madrid has already finished 16th out of 36 teams in the group stage with two losses, suffering shocking losses to Lille and AC Milan in the Champions League as well.

In recent weeks, Dani Carvajal and Eder Militão have been sidelined due to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, which has also caused negative side effects of long-term injuries. Ancelotti's future is unstable with Bayern Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso expected to take the helm next summer.

However, according to Spanish media outlet Lelebo, Ancelotti does not expect to enter the transfer window this winter despite the loss of Dani Carvajal and Eder Militão, the team's key defenders, to cruciate ligament injuries. Real Madrid are currently not interested in participating in a market inflated by huge transfer fees and want to capitalize on the players they have left from now until the end of the season.

All of this means Ancelotti has to plan major position changes to strengthen his defense. Ancelotti decided to have Orelien Chouameni play at center back and prospect Raul Asensio join the first team until Militão returns.

Ancelotti has previously used Chouameni as a defender and has claimed that he has "all the qualities to become the best centre-back in the world." If Chouameni moves to the defender, Eduardo Camavinga will be able to play in his original position as a defensive midfielder.

Real's defensive options could soon be strengthened by David Alaba's return from injury. According to Spanish media outlet As, Alaba has been sidelined for nearly 12 months with a serious knee injury, but is expected to finally make a comeback in January 2025.
Real Madrid will play its return match against Leganes after the A-match break on Saturday (Korea time). Ancelotti will then move to Anfield and play Liverpool in the Champions League, the biggest match of the season. 온라인바카라
