Madrid is Looking for a Right Wing and Achraf Gives Biggest Wink to Remember

Surprise with his words when Real Madrid looks for reinforcements in the market

If there's one position that's currently concerning Real Madrid, it's the right wing. Carvajal's injury has left that position very weakened, without any specific player for the role. Lucas Vázquez is a converted winger, and it shows.

That's why the white team is looking for a right wing, with some names noted on the agenda. However, the one who has surprised is Achraf, who has sent a wink to Florentino. It certainly seems he has Real Madrid in his thoughts at a moment that could be decisive.

In an interview, he was asked what his best childhood memory is, and he surprised everyone. He had no problem admitting it was "when Real Madrid called me to go to their tests." An event he considers fundamental in his life, and he made it clear.

Many point to Real Madrid's right wing, but it seems complicated for Achraf to return. It's true he has sent an evident wink, but that doesn't bring him closer to the white team. In fact, the Moroccan renewed his contract with PSG, making it seem impossible to sign him.

Despite Achraf's nod, he's not the top priority for Real Madrid

It's true that Achraf's name has been considered for his performance at PSG and because he knows the club. But Real Madrid doesn't have his name as the top priority. This is Alexander Arnold, who seems to be getting closer to joining the white team.

In fact, some sources suggest they may have already signed an agreement with the Brit for June. However, the urgency to add a reinforcement for the position in January has made them take action. They've even tried to negotiate with Liverpool to sign him in January.

However, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen, leaving the door open for other additions. Ancelotti himself currently rules out any arrivals. He confirmed this in the press conference before facing Celta de Vigo in the Copa del Rey.
