Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will speak to his superiors next week about their plans for the January transfer window. The Italian manager has dodged questions about the transfer window in recent weeks as Los Blancos endured an injury crisis in defence.
The European champions are not usually active in the January transfer market, but with Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal out for the rest of the season and David Alaba still on his way back from injury, some are wondering if that could change. According to Sport, Ancelotti will meet with president Florentino Perez, managing director Jose Angel Sanchez and sporting director Santiago Solari before going on holiday to discuss their plans for the January window. Their last match of the season is on December 22 against Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The main issue on the table is Trent Alexander-Arnold. Liverpool are refusing to consider a January transfer window sale and it appears they will try to sign him on a free transfer in the summer. Ahead of the meeting, it appears they will wait until then to make their next moves.
Real Madrid have exposed their flanks of late, with veteran Lucas Vazquez unable to provide the same defensive solidity as Carvajal. Similarly, Los Blancos are using Aurelien Tchouameni as a makeshift defender, and Ferland Mendy's injury problems have returned in recent weeks.
