If They Call Me, I Sign Tomorrow’: The Defender Real Madrid Wants for January Is Clear
Real Madrid is focused on the upcoming match against Deportivo Alavés, which will take place at the Mendizorroza stadium, closing out the year 2023 for the Madrid team.
Alavés will host a Real Madrid team in excellent form despite several injuries. The Basque team aims to move away from relegation places, while Real Madrid will fight for the top spot in LaLiga.
It will be a highly contested match, as winning at Alavés’ home ground is no easy task. Nevertheless, Real Madrid is the clear favorite, and if they secure the victory, Carlo Ancelotti’s team will end the year on a high note.
Carlo Ancelotti has been working at the Ciudad Deportiva in Valdebebas, focusing on this final match of the year, which demands the best from the Madrid side.
This Vitoria match will be the first one after the unfortunate injury to David Alaba, who suffered “a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee” last weekend.
This has opened the door to the January transfer market, which was previously firmly closed for Real Madrid.
Many names are circulating to reinforce the Madrid squad, and José Ángel Sánchez is receiving numerous offers. However, there’s one name that stands out among the Madrid faithful.
Real Madrid fans are hoping for the return of Rafa Marín, currently with Deportivo Alavés and a product of La Fábrica. Marín is on loan to Alavés until the end of the current season.
This situation highlights how unpredictable a player’s destiny can be. Rafa Marín is aware of this possibility and has confided in those close to him. If Real Madrid attempts to terminate his loan with Alavés in January to bring him back to the first team after David Alaba’s injury, Marín has stated that he would have no hesitation in signing, provided the clubs reach an agreement.
“If they call me, and the clubs agree, I’ll sign tomorrow,” the player has expressed to trusted individuals.
Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are well aware of this option, although, for now, the possibility of strengthening the squad in the winter transfer market is under consideration.
