Real Madrid still undecided on January transfer plans despite being offered several players – report | OneFootball

The past few weeks have seen Real Madrid linked to endless names as possible new signings in the winter transfer market.

Los Blancos, clearly weakened with injuries, are after all struggling in the defensive department and are contemplating the next step to take to mitigate the situation.

Florentino Perez and Co. have not yet finalised if they wish to enter the transfer market for new signings or will count on the academy at this time of trouble, but the rumours in the media continue to grow.

Agents play the key role

As revealed in a recent update via Jorge C Picon (h/t Madrid Xtra), agents of players across Europe are hitting up the offices at the Valdebebas and offering their clients to Real Madrid hoping to strike gold.

The media has an equal part to play in this ploy as the players offered are being glorified so as to catch the eye of the Merengues administrators.

Real Madrid, for their part, are unfazed by the noise in the media and are still taking a call on whether they require a new signing this winter or whether the existing resources can serve and get them past the tricky situation.

The Merengues firmly believe that it is very difficult to find a player of the exact profile and quality required mid-season, for the only available players at that time are those who have not broken into the starting lineup at their existing clubs.

Hence the hesitation from Perez and Co. to enter the January market, although they will continue to keep an eye on possible candidates who tick the required boxes.

Should Los Blancos come across any players who they see to be at the calibre of Real Madrid, they will not hesitate to spend the money.

Needless to say, the upcoming results and the adaptation of the existing players and youth will determine their stance.
