Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti to meet with hierarchy over January transfer window

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will meet with club officials next week to discuss the January transfer window.

The team is dealing with an injury crisis in defense, with Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal out for the season, and David Alaba recovering.

Though Real typically avoids January signings, the current situation has prompted speculation about potential transfers.

Ancelotti will consult with President Florentino Perez, Director Jose Angel Sanchez, and Sporting Director Santiago Solari before heading on holiday.

The primary target discussed is Trent Alexander-Arnold, but Liverpool is unwilling to sell in January, and Real may pursue him in the summer. Meanwhile, the team struggles with defensive depth, relying on makeshift solutions.
