Ancelotti has another choice for Real Madrid’s right-back position

Aware of the problems his squad has been facing due to injuries, the Real Madrid manager is now considering an unexpected option to give a boost to the right flank.

The ongoing injury issues have prompted the team from Chamartín to consider potential alternatives in the upcoming winter transfer market.

One position that raises significant concerns is right-back, which has been left vulnerable following the injury to captain and key player Dani Carvajal.

The man who will be expected to fill the European champion’s role is Lucas Vazquez, who has already played in this area for the last few seasons.

In the absence of the Galician, another name to watch is the Brazilian Éder Militao, although this would mean that the centre of defence would be left lacking

David Jimenez May Be Closer Than Expected

Regardless, Carlo Ancelotti might make a surprising decision, given his lack of faith in the youth team.

According to reports from the newspaper As, Castilla right-back David Jimenez is making a case for himself while Fortea is sidelined with injury.

The report highlights that the 20-year-old player stands out for his personality, ability to support the attack, and excellent ball control.

This newspaper points out that among the factors that makes David Jimenez attractive the most are his personality, ability to join the attack and a great touch on the ball.
