Even though injured, the sale of this Madrid star is possible

David Alaba's injury has disrupted all the plans that Real Madrid had for this season. After accumulating an alarming number of absences due to injury, the Valdebebas offices did not imagine that they would use the Christmas break to reflect on which footballer would be the ideal one to take the place left by the Austrian '4'.

The names that could be on the white agenda cover a very peculiar range. From young stars like Leny Yoro or Antonio Silva to veteran and well-known footballers like Raphaël Varane, the members of the Real Madrid board of directors have plenty to choose from. But the doubts and the absence of a clear guideline in this emergency situation has caused even more rumors to arise.

The player that Florentino Perez could value to reinforce the central axis of the defense after the injuries of Éder Militão and David Alaba is Aymeric Laporte. According to the information published by OKDiario, the hiring of the Al-Nassr footballer would be presented as "a more remote option." But due to age and performance, they say in that media outlet, he would fit into the white squad.

His departure to the Saudi Arabia team has been really hasty: he had no place at Manchester City with the incorporation of Josko Gvardiol and, as no team from the European elite had shown interest, he made the decision to go to the Arabian Peninsula . But he could return to the European football elite as long as Real Madrid decides to try to get him.

Difficult yes, impossible no

Ancelotti has already made it clear that he "does not want experiments." The Reggiolo coach would have requested a seasoned center back with experience on the big stages of European football or a young promise who can establish himself in the coming seasons as Éder Militão's partner. Laporte's figure is closer to the first profile than the second, so he would fit the requirements even though "this possibility is complicated," they write in OKDiario.
