Real Madrid are working on a host of deals to bring in a new central defender in the January transfer window.
Los Blancos are in the middle of a defensive injury crisis, with David Alaba now ruled out for the season after undergoing knee surgery, and Eder Militao potentially out until 2024/25.
Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he is open to bringing in a defensive reinforcement in the mid-season market but the veteran Italian is assessing his options.
One rumoured move was a push to bring Rafa Marin back from a season long loan spell at Alaves with the 21-year-old playing a key role in the Basque Country in the opening half of the campaign.
However, there is no clause in his contract to bring him back early, and the towering defender has hinted at his desire to stay at Alaves.
“I am very proud to be part of this team, through thick and thin.”
Ancelotti will continue to assess his options in the coming weeks with a loan deal for an experienced defender the most likely outcome.

maybe you start following Madrid in 2023 . varane left the club for better salary and he even said he won everything in Madrid he want new experience , we don't need him his last two seasons in was very bad
He said that after he left that’s what they’re always told to say I don’t blame you You don’t really think very deep Same as Casemiro he was sold bcos we bought Tchouameni but let me guess you think he also left bcos of money 😂😂

I am with you bro. People have soon forgotten he forced his way out of the club, in the name of seeking new experience. if the new experience is not palatable, he should be allowed to endure the fruit of his decision. We should look for a younger center half with more experience on loan, and make a decision on a permanent stay at end of the season

Let him stay. Let's target a loan move for Varane until end of the season.
