Actual Madrid suffered an enormous harm blow over the weekend, with Dani Carvajal rupturing his cruciate ligament in a win over Villarreal on the Santiago Bernabeu.
The harm implies that the 32-year-old will miss the rest of the 2024/25 season and, regardless of the right-back being handed a brand new contract, probably carry his time as one of many world’s greatest full-backs to an finish.
With that in thoughts, we at 90min have determined to attract up an inventory of potential replacements for Carvajal at Actual Madrid.
It seems like Lucas Vazquez will likely be given an prolonged run at right-back following Carvajal’s harm, nevertheless if January comes round and the Spaniard is not performing effectively, then Madrid may very well be tempted to dip into the marketplace for a substitute.
A comparatively low-cost possibility can be Sevilla’s Juanlu Sanchez. The 21-year-old reportedly has a reasonably affordable £21m launch clause connected to his contract at Sevilla and, given his age and spectacular performances since breaking into the line-up at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, he may very well be a shrewd January acquisition for Los Blancos.
If Actual Madrid are eager to spend a bit (loads) more cash on a brand new right-back, then Tottenham Hotspur’s Pedro Porro could also be of curiosity.
The Spaniard has gone from energy to energy since becoming a member of the north London membership again in 2023, changing into an integral member of Ange Postecoglou’s attacking Spurs aspect, and he’d present Madrid with related attacking prowess that Carvajal has on the suitable flank down the years.
At 25 years previous, he’d be giving Madrid his greatest years too.
You have been ready for us to only reduce the chase and get to the Trent Alexander-Arnold part, weren’t you?
The Liverpool star has been very, very, very closely linked with a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu as soon as his contract expires in the summertime of 2025.
And with phrases but to be agreed on a brand new deal at Anfield, with every passing day TAA’s transfer to Madrid feels an increasing number of seemingly.
The fitting-back can be an distinctive signing for Los Blancos as he’d tackle each the right-back drawback and the membership’s midfield drawback. In an inverted full-back function, Alexander-Arnold would expertly present Madrid with a a lot wanted artistic passer in the course of the park – one thing they have not had since Toni Kroos hung up his boots in the summertime.
