Real Madrid are considering turning to the January transfer window to strengthen their squad following Dani Carvajal's injury. The La Liga side normally prioritise waiting until the summer, but the urgency of the squad means they are looking towards January, with Trent Alexander-Arnold the main contender.

Real Madrid will have to turn to the January transfer window. Dani Carvajal, who will miss the entire season through injury, forces the La Liga side to find a replacement if they want to achieve their pre-established objectives.
Carlo Ancelotti's team's plan could be brought forward. The idea was to try to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer, with talks with the player's inner circle already underway. But Carvajal's injury has disrupted plans.
Alexander-Arnold is the big alternative to Carvajal, according to reports in Spain, with the Englishman, who will be out of contract at the end of the current season, having already been mooted for the future.
If the full-back does not renew with the Reds, he will leave as a free agent in July. Now, with Real Madrid in need of a full-back, Liverpool could consider selling him in January.
Lucas Vazquez will occupy the right flank for all matches, unless he has a physical problem. The emergency solution, for the days when Lucas Vazquez cannot play, is Fede Valverde, according to 'Relevo'.
