The serious problem that Ancelotti has at Real Madrid

Real Madrid continues to drag an evident deficiency in its squad, particularly at the right-back position where the solution seems more distant. Despite Carlo Ancelotti's attempts to adapt Lucas Vázquez to a role for which he is not naturally prepared, the situation remains unchanged. The Galician, who has had to assume this responsibility in recent seasons, is currently facing his most delicate moment, with a buildup of matches taking its toll. Injuries like the one to his adductor suffered in November also hinder his recovery to the level he once showed.

No intention to sign a right-back in January

Instead, the most viable alternative is the young Fede Valverde, but moving him to that position weakens the midfield, leaving Real Madrid's core more vulnerable. Although the Madrid youth academy offers names like Loren Aguado or David Jiménez, these remain temporary solutions far from being definitive answers.

According to the newspaper AS, despite the club's clear lack of intention to sign a right-back in the winter transfer window, Ancelotti has hinted that he will assess the situation after the match against Sevilla. However, the club's strategy seems focused on the upcoming summer when they plan to acquire a renowned player like Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will be out of contract with Liverpool. Despite the wait, the situation of Lucas Vázquez and the unconvincing internal options suggest that the urgency to strengthen the right-back position is a matter of growing concern for Real Madrid.
