Real Madrid is suffering from a lot of injuries this season, especially in the defense, with Alaba absent and no clear date for his return, alongside Dani Carvajal\u2019s injury, which has ended his season with the team.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the recurrence of Militao’s injuries poses a significant risk this season, particularly as Real Madrid is competing for nearly seven championships for the first time in the club’s history.<\/p>\n
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, the Italian coach is concerned about the defensive situation and is reflecting on Nacho, who wanted to renew his contract but eventually left. Had he stayed, he likely would have been one of the players logging the most minutes this season.<\/p>\n
Ancelotti even asked Florentino if there were any options to bring Nacho back or any conditions that might facilitate his return in the second half of the season.
\nLike Kroos, Nacho’s departure is a painful blow for the club, which is hard to overcome. Nacho does not have any conditions that would allow him to terminate his contract without penalty, and he is unlikely to consider returning after his difficult exit.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid is exploring other options in the market; there are many interesting possibilities. However, if they could go back, they would have insisted more on keeping Nacho, given his ability to play both as a center-back and a full-back.
\nThere is no point in complaining now; we must accept reality and deal with the situation in the best possible way. The club is obligated to move in the market and find a player who can support the team until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
The ideal scenario for the club would be to sign a central defender for several seasons to avoid returning to the market in 2025 in search of a new defender. However, the winter market is not easy, especially for concluding a deal of this type.
\nTherefore, we will have to wait and see what decisions the club makes. At the moment, they are working at the scouting level, and they do not have a priority target for this position yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
