Real Madrid will face the remainder of the season without reinforcements in the winter market, a decision made by Florentino Pérez that has caused confusion among the fans, as reported by the daily AS.
Despite the long list of injured players like Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Aurelien Tchouameni, Rodrygo Goes, Vinicius Junior, and recently Eduardo Camavinga, the club does not plan to make signings in January. This stance is questionable given the demanding schedule that includes commitments in LaLiga, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, the Intercontinental Cup, and the Club World Cup.
An inexplicable decision
The 2024-25 season has been particularly challenging for Carlo Ancelotti's team, with constant absences that have significantly reduced the squad's depth. The recent defeat against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League, characterized by a poor collective performance, highlights the team's fragility at this crucial stage. Furthermore, the accumulation of competitions could worsen the situation, jeopardizing the fight for titles.
The club has maintained a policy of not making signings in the winter market since 2019, a trend that, despite the current circumstances, seems unchanging. Although historically Real Madrid has prioritized financial balance and long-term planning, the lack of options on the bench could become a major issue in the coming months.
While the board trusts that the injured players' recovery will be sufficient to face the second half of the season, the lack of reinforcements could have consequences in a period where every mistake counts.
