Real Madrid faces crucial decisions in the winter transfer market due to the urgent need to strengthen their right-back position. With Trent Alexander-Arnold as the main target but facing complications in negotiations with Liverpool, the merengue club is evaluating alternatives to cover that strategic position.

Among the considered options are Benjamin Pavard, Pedro Porro, Denzel Dumfries, Jeremie Frimpong, Andrei Ratiu, Juanlu Sánchez, and Serge Aurier. Each of these players presents different profiles and advantages, from youth and potential to experience and versatility in top leagues.

Real Madrid needs a right-back

The coaching staff, led by Carlo Ancelotti, has expressed the urgent need to strengthen the defense, especially after the recent difficulties against Barcelona, where the lack at right-back was evident. Although the preferred option remains Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid is also considering the possibility of a temporary loan as a viable solution until the English international's arrival in the summer.

Among the candidates, Pedro Porro, Denzel Dumfries, and Jeremie Frimpong emerge as favorites, although their high costs could be an obstacle. On the other hand, players like Andrei Ratiu and Juanlu Sánchez represent more financially accessible options, with Sevilla willing to negotiate for the latter at a price ranging between 10 and 15 million euros.

In addition, veteran names like Benjamin Pavard from Inter Milan and free agent Serge Aurier are also on the table, offering experience and versatility to the Madridista defense. However, Aurier's physical condition, after a period without playing due to injuries, is a factor to consider.

With the winter market in full swing, Real Madrid must act cautiously to ensure an effective reinforcement that strengthens their squad for the remaining challenges of the season. The final decision will depend on both market conditions and the club's ability to meet their immediate and long-term sporting goals.
