Rüdiger Picks Central Defender for Madrid, Aiming to Replace Alaba: “It Would Be My Dream
Alaba’s injury has left Rüdiger without his usual partner in the center of defense this season. However, the German already has someone in mind to replace him.
The team needs reinforcements to have enough resources to face a suspension or injury to Nacho or Rüdiger. Therefore, the club is working to find a player who can stay with the team until the end of the season.
The situation is complicated, but Carlo Ancelotti is managing the squad well and has several options to resolve this conflict with the current squad.
After losing Militao early in the season, Real Madrid suffered another setback against Villarreal. Alaba suffered a serious injury and will be sidelined for the rest of the season.
This has led to a search in the winter transfer market to find a reliable center-back to complement the rotation with Rüdiger and Nacho. (Florentino reacts to Varane’s return)
It should be noted that the Madrid captain was sent off against Alavés, so a midfielder like Tchouaméni will have to play in the center of defense in the next game.
Rüdiger picks his favorite central defender If there is a player who has always fascinated Rüdiger, it is Pepe. He has mentioned in several interviews that Pepe is one of the center-backs he has followed the most and liked the most.
Now that Real Madrid is seeking an emergency solution to their defensive problems, with many names starting to circulate, Antonio has expressed to those close to him that he would love for Madrid to sign Pepe, his great idol.
“It would be a dream to play with him at Madrid,” he has admitted to those close to him regarding the possibility that has opened up in January due to the situation facing the Madrid club.
Madrid, obviously, is not considering this, both because of Pepe’s age and because it does not align with the profile of the player they are currently seeking, but Rüdiger would be delighted.
