Real Madrid offers the “black hole” player for sale for €40m
In Real Madrid there is an obvious and undeniable problem, and it has its focus in the defense. Although it is also costing a lot to score goals, due to the absence of a central forward of reference, in all the games they have been able to see the goal, so this is not what worries Carlo Ancelotti the most. On the other hand, the defensive fragility they have shown does generate more headaches for the Transalpine coach.
It costs a barbarity to remain without scoring, and with the goal to zero, in the most demanding matches. Against Atlético de Madrid they conceded three goals, against SSC Napoli they conceded two more, against Sevilla one… and they don’t have the feeling of security they had before.
Obviously, the loss of Thibaut Courtois is decisive, despite the fact that his substitute, Kepa Arrizabalaga, is leaving good feelings, and has won the title ahead of Andriy Lunin.
Likewise, Eder Militao, who was the leader of the rearguard, is also missing a lot , and will not be able to play again for the rest of the course, except for a major surprise. Because he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, just as the Belgian goalkeeper had done a few days before, in the first day of La Liga EA Sports, against Athletic Club de Bilbao. Antonio Rüdiger has stepped up and taken on more responsibility.
Little can be blamed on the German international, who is indeed offering a very good level, and has not made any mistakes. On the other hand, there is a lot of room for improvement for David Alaba, who, as happened in the previous campaign, is making headlines for his irregularity. It is far, very far, from its best version, which in the Santiago Bernabéu they were able to enjoy during the first year that was in La Liga EA Sports, being crucial.
However, the ‘4’ is not in a good moment of form, and this translates into a major problem for Ancelotti. Because he practically has no alternatives for the axis of the defense.
Florentino Pérez considers selling Alaba in 2024
And Florentino Pérez is the first to be very disappointed with Alaba, to the point of considering his sale in 2024, as long as it is for a figure close to 40 million euros.
He had the chance to transfer to Saudi Arabia this summer but turned it down. On the other hand, Madrid could study her in the summer, seeing that she is already 31 years old, and will turn 32 in June, and is not at 100%.
