The injuries, especially in the centre-back department, have hurt Real Madrid in the ongoing season.

Despite that, the Merengues opted not to sign reinforcements in the position, be it in the summer or in the winter windows.

And, Jose Felix Diaz of MARCA is reporting that Real Madrid do not regret signing a new central defender despite being offered several players during both the transfer Windows.

The report states that Real Madrid have been confident in their sporting strategy for some time now and no one at Valdebebas has the slightest doubt about the decision taken regarding the defensive department.

The Merengues believe that adding a centre-back either in the final days of the summer or the winter transfer windows would not have raised the level of the squad.

Instead, Real Madrid believe that the decision and the gesture has raised the competitive level of the rest of the squad, who have stepped up brilliantly in difficult situations this season.

The report further claims that after David Alaba’s injury towards the end of 2023, a multitude of offers arrived for the club to sign a new centre-back to replace the Austrian.

However, none of the options offered fitted in with the strategy of incorporating young talent with a future, so the door was closed and the club decided to place their trust in the response of the squad.

Furthermore, the decisive moment of the season is approaching and it seems that Carlo Ancelotti will soon be able to count on Eder Militao, who is closing in on a return.
