Real Madrid's Final Decision for the Winter Market, the Club is Convinced

The club already knows what they are going to do in the winter market with the reinforcements

For weeks there have been rumors about what Real Madrid would do in the winter transfer market. The long-term injuries to Militão and Carvajal have set off the alarm. They have left Ancelotti without two first team players for the defense and many doubts about whether to transfer them or not.

In fact, the right wing position was the one that most worried the Meringues. The fact that only Lucas Vázquez is a player for that position, and he is a converted winger, made people doubt. However, it seems that in Valdebebas they are determined not to bring anyone.

The uncertainty with the right wing has calmed down a bit with Fede Valverde and Asencio, who have already had minutes there. In fact, the tests with the academy player have even taken place in games. And Carletto seems to be clear that there will have to be the solutions between now and the end of the season.

Real Madrid is not usually very keen on going to the market in January to strengthen their team. This already happened last season, when they opted for Tchouaméni due to injuries to Alaba and Militão. Something similar seems to be going to happen this season after the decision they have made.

All efforts are focused on the summer transfer market

The fact that there are no new transfers planned for January doesn't mean that there are no names on the agenda. Florentino has a few targets set and hopes that they can arrive in the summer. In fact, movements are already beginning to take place for some of them.

From January 1, Davies and Arnold can begin to negotiate freely with Real Madrid. If they continue without renewing their contracts, they could land at Bernabéu on June 30 without paying a transfer fee. They are the first two transfers that the white team hope to close.

This also means that in January they don't want to bring in any right-back who could change their plans. A transfer would cause Arnold to change his mind and end up renewing his contract. Something they don't want and that's why they won't bring in any player for that position.
