Real Madrid has begun searching for a replacement for the injured Carvajal
Real Madrid is actively searching for a right-back to replace the injured Dani Carvajal. In the Saturday match against Villarreal, which ended 2-0, Carvajal was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is expected to be out for 8 to 10 months.
According to ESPN, Real has already received more than ten offers regarding candidates for this position. However, with many potential players already under contract with other clubs, finding a suitable option in the January transfer window may prove challenging.
Carvajal's prolonged absence leaves Lucas Vázquez as Real Madrid's only primary option at right-back. However, there are concerns within the club regarding Vázquez's ability to perform as a regular starter in that role. As highlighted by the source, Carlo Ancelotti wants Real to bolster their defensive capabilities.
Real Madrid continues to monitor Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool and Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich. However, negotiations with their respective clubs could complicate matters.
The club is eager to resolve this issue as soon as possible. They will also be exploring the market for young players who could be signed on long-term deals. If they are not convinced of the viability of a transfer, they may have to continue with the same squad as last summer after their unsuccessful attempt to acquire Leni Yoro.
