Real Madrid Will Sign a World-class Center-back in January and It is Confirmed

This is the central defender who will arrive in January to reinforce the defense and is a world-class player to remedy this situation.

The Merengue team is quite clear that it needs to significantly reinforce its defense for the winter transfer market. Several names have been mentioned to reinforce the white team for the next six months of competition. It seems that the wait is over and it has been confirmed that they will in fact have a transfer for this market.

However, and to the surprise of many Real Madrid fans, it will not be a transfer from another team but a return to form. Obviously, we are referring to the Austrian center-back David Alaba, who will be the great return to Real Madrid. This may not please many fans who think he can't return to the level he was at.

Despite this, the Madrid board and Ancelotti's coaching staff seem to be quite clear that this recovery is ideal. In addition, it will be able to provide experience to the younger members of the team.

The Return of Alaba

The Austrian player missed last season due to an injury against Villarreal that kept him out for more than a year. This caused a series of problems throughout the season that could not be fully solved. However, this didn't prevent Real Madrid from obtaining their fifteenth Champions League.

This season has been something completely different, as the lack of defensive strength is becoming noticeable. Therefore, any addition in this sector could be very beneficial for what the club needs right now.

However, for some, this addition could be more of a detraction than a plus, as he is a player who may not return to a good level. But this doesn't take away the hopes of many who still trust that he can regain his place as a starting player in the team.

We'll See What Happens.

The only thing we know for sure is that the board only has this in mind and we have to try to give him the benefit of the doubt. A transfer who could perhaps bring great results if he can play the ball properly. Although, if not, Madrid will have a problem for the rest of the season.
