Real Madrid Set to Make Shock January Signing After Dani Carvajal’s Devastating Injury
Real Madrid are facing a potential crisis at the back after Dani Carvajal suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury during their La Liga clash against Villarreal. The Spanish international defender’s injury has left Carlo Ancelotti’s side reeling, and according to reports, the club is set to make a shock signing in the January transfer window.
Carvajal, 32, went down in pain in the closing stages of the match and was subsequently replaced by Lucas Vazquez. The news of his injury was confirmed on social media, where he revealed that he would require surgery and would be out for several months.
The last time Real Madrid made a signing in January was back in 2020 when they snapped up Brazilian youngster Reinier Jesus. Since then, the club has stuck to their policy of not making signings in the winter window. However, with Carvajal’s injury, they may be forced to break with tradition and bring in a new defender.
According to reports, Castello Lukeba, Jorrel Hato, and Vitor Reis are among the names being considered by the club’s sporting department. All three players have impressed in their respective leagues and could provide a much-needed boost to Real Madrid’s backline.
Carvajal’s injury is a major blow to Real Madrid, who were already struggling to find consistency at the back. The loss of the experienced defender will be felt, but the club may see this as an opportunity to bring in a new player and inject some fresh blood into the team.
In other injury news, Vinicius Jr was also substituted during the match against Villarreal, with Carlo Ancelotti revealing that he had a problem with his cervical spine. The Brazilian winger will undergo tests in the coming days to determine the full extent of the injury.
Real Madrid fans will be hoping that their side can bounce back from this latest setback and push on to the rest of the season. With the January transfer window just around the corner, the club may look to make some signings to bolster their squad and give them a chance of challenging for the La Liga title.
