Real Madrid are working with their sights set on next season.
The Whites are ruling out the winter transfer market, but are confident of being able to close up to four signings by the end of this season.
Despite facing significant injuries that have impacted their squad, Real Madrid is committed to their strategy of waiting until summer to bring in new talent.
In the meantime, Carlo Ancelotti will have to make do with the resources he already has and with the young players from the youth system.
In this sense, Raúl Asencio and Jesús Fortea are the ones who have the best chance of getting minutes.
For the next season, Real Madrid is already considering a total of four signings.
Three of them would contribute to improving the performance of the defence and could be completed without having to pay a single euro for their transfer, since these are players whose contracts are ending.

All three are seasoned players accustomed to competing for titles.
The fourth signing, however, would come at a significant cost, but it would be a worthwhile investment.
Acquiring Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen could require a fee of up to €130 million.
The German midfielder is currently one of the key figures in Xabi Alonso‘s squad, who is also considered a leading candidate to succeed Carlo Ancelotti.
