Dani Carvajal was the star of the worst possible news for Real Madrid in the match against Villarreal. The winger was seriously injured and suffered a triple rupture: rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, rupture of the external collateral ligament and rupture of the popliteus tendon in his right leg.
The player will be out for between 8 and 10 months, so he would not play again for the remainder of the season. Given this situation, the question is whether Madrid will sign a right back, and if so, see if they wait until the winter market or if, on the contrary, they decide to make an immediate addition. Will Real Madrid be able to sign outside the transfer window?
Does the current regulations allow a player to be signed outside the transfer market?
According to article 77 of the LaLiga regulations, when a player suffers a long-term injury (more than three months), his club can register a substitute.
In the case of Carvajal, who as we say will be out for at least 8 months, Real Madrid could sign a replacement outside the transfer window, which opens in January. However, you cannot sign just any player; you must follow a series of requirements.
What are the requirements to sign a player outside the transfer market?
Real Madrid will be able to sign before the transfer window opens but they will not be able to sign just any player.
The first requirement to sign is that there is a long-term injured player. Secondly, the player being signed must be a free agent at the time the last transfer window closed.
In addition, LaLiga allows the club that incorporates a player to spend a maximum of 80% of the injured player’s salary on the new addition.
Can players from other clubs be signed?
After the entry into force of the new regulations, it is not allowed to sign any player who has a contract with a club, regardless of the league in which he plays.
These new regulations came into force in the 2020/21 season and only players who are without a team can be signed.
When could Real Madrid sign a goalkeeper if they decide not to go to the free player market?
In the event that Real Madrid decides to sign a player who currently has a contract with another club, they will have to wait for the next winter transfer window to open.
In the case of LaLiga, the transfer window will open on January 2, 2025 and will remain open until February 3.
What options does Carlo Ancelotti have within the squad to replace Carvajal?
Carvajal is the undisputed starter on the right side of Real Madrid. His replacement in the next matches will be Lucas Vazquezwho has been working in that position for some seasons now.
Another option is that Eder Militao change your position from the center of the defense to the side. Also Fede Valverde He has occupied the right side on some occasions, and even Vallejobut these options seem quite unlikely.
The last option is the quarry. David Jiménez, Loren Aguado and Fortea present themselves as a feasible option.
What players can Real Madrid sign in the winter market to replace Carvajal?
In case Madrid decides to sign a replacement in the winter market, the name that is in all the pools is Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool player has been rumored for Real Madrid for some time and this could be a great opportunity to incorporate him.
Other names that are being heard are Achraf Hakimi of PSG or Denzel Dumfries of Inter Milan.
