Real Madrid, still reeling from their defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, are looking to make a bold move in the winter transfer market to bolster their squad. According to reports, the club is considering a surprise move for Manchester City’s right-back, Kyle Walker, in an effort to strengthen their defense.
The Catalan newspaper Sport has claimed that Real Madrid are exploring the possibility of signing Walker on a six-month contract until the end of the season. This move comes after their failure to secure Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, with the English full-back remaining untouchable under manager Jürgen Klopp.
Real Madrid’s right-back position has been a growing concern for coach Carlo Ancelotti, with Lucas Vázquez under scrutiny for his performances, which opponents have targeted as a weak point in the defense. With Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirming that Walker is set to leave in January, Real Madrid may be in a strong position to snap up the experienced English defender.
This potential deal could provide an immediate solution for Real Madrid’s defensive issues, and the club will be eager to see if they can finalize the move in the coming days.
