The 3 final candidates of Real Madrid for the right back position

Real Madrid is exploring three key options to strengthen its right-back position: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Pedro Porro, and Jesús Fortea. With Dani Carvajal's injury and a lack of substantial cover options in place, the club is seeking solutions in the upcoming winter transfer window to ensure solidity in a crucial position for Ancelotti's system. With Lucas Vázquez as the sole direct substitute, Real Madrid is considering high-profile alternatives.

-Trent Alexander Arnold: Alexander-Arnold leads the priority list, but the price set by Liverpool, exceeding 47 million euros, makes a January transfer unlikely. Nonetheless, Real Madrid maintains interest, especially considering that the Englishman's contract expires in six months, potentially allowing a free transfer in the summer. This scenario puts the club in a strategic position, although PSG has also shown interest, adding pressure to the situation.

Real Madrid's Plan B and C

-Pedro Porro: Meanwhile, Pedro Porro would be the immediate option if Madrid opts for a more realistic move. Priced around 45 million euros, the Tottenham full-back emerges as an attractive alternative but faces complications due to the firm stance of the English club's president, Daniel Levy, in negotiations. Porro's contract until 2028 could entail challenging transfer proceedings, although the player has publicly expressed enthusiasm for a potential Real Madrid interest.

-Jesús Fortea: Lastly, Jesús Fortea is seen as a future resource. At 17 years old, the promising academy player has shown rapid progress and caught Ancelotti's attention during training sessions. Despite limited first-team opportunities, Fortea represents a long-term investment to strengthen Real Madrid's right flank.
