3 cruciate ligament injuries occurred in 4 months, and the outside world once again turned their attention to Real Madrid. So far, their main members are Courtois, Militao and the newly injured Alaba.
The increasing workload of the club and national team is the fundamental reason for the frequent injuries of players in recent years. In order to expand the influence of football, UEFA and FIFA are expanding and increasing series at all costs. For example, the recently restructured Club World Cup will be participated by 32 teams, including 12 places in Europe. The Premier League has joined the ranks of complaints against FIFA for increasing competitions for money.
Real Madrid Chairman Florentino also took part of the consideration into promoting the UEFA Super League, but compared with the high-level plan, now they need to think more about the winter window signings and find a fire-fighting central defender. There are reports that they will recall Marin, who is on loan to Alaves, in advance, but this proposal was quickly rejected by coach Ancelotti. The Real Madrid coach insisted that he did not want to experiment and strongly demanded the signing of a mature central defender. .
Marin, who had just landed in the top league at the age of 21, was thus excluded. Real Madrid's top management has developed a "frugal" transfer style in recent years. They could not convince Ancelotti to accept Marin and they would not consider buying a central defender in the winter window. , the cost is secondary, the main reason is that you can’t buy high-quality options for long-term use.
As a result, the senior management has only one option left - leasing.
The 22-year-old Inásio was also a subject of Real Madrid's investigation. Last summer, they had the opportunity to acquire this young player with a release fee of 45 million euros, but the latter gave up. Inásio's performance as a central defender in the Portuguese Super League this season is second, with former Real Madrid player Pepe ranking first.
The 40-year-old Pepe is still going strong. He has played 8 times in Portugal this season, averaging 2 steals, 1.4 interceptions and 3.4 clearances per game. At the same time, he performed stably at the Champions League level, averaging 1.4 steals, 1.2 interceptions and 3 clearances in 5 games, helping Porto reach the top 16.
The 38-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo also broke the annual 50-goal record. The Real Madrid veteran's durability is really good.
Pepe has become one of the hotly discussed return targets. In addition, Varane is not going well at Manchester United. The 30-year-old French international was placed on the bench by Ten Hag after suffering an injury. There were rumors that he was dissatisfied with his lack of game time, and Manchester United also had plans to sell him to raise funds.
Varane's contract with the Red Devils expires next summer, and it is reported that the senior management is considering letting him return to put out the fire.
