Real Madrid Eyes Transfers Amid Defensive Crisis

Real Madrid is grappling with a defensive crisis following the long-term injury of right-back Dani Carvajal, who is out for the season after suffering a severe knee injury. In response, the club is considering various replacements, with Lucas Vazquez currently the primary internal option. However, Real Madrid is contemplating entering the January transfer market, potentially targeting Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract is set to expire soon. Despite being a long-time target, negotiations for a mid-season transfer are complex due to budget constraints and Alexander-Arnold’s importance to Liverpool. Additionally, Real Madrid is exploring other defensive reinforcements like Alphonso Davies for future windows. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's interest in Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz is complicated by his preference to stay in Germany, with Bayern Munich being his potential destination.
