Real Madrid is contemplating January transfers for stars from Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Marca, Real Madrid’s management is considering entering the market this winter to strengthen their right-back position. Reports on Friday revealed that, after previously dismissing the idea, Real Madrid is now open to defensive reinforcements in January.

With Dani Carvajal facing a lengthy absence and Lucas Vázquez struggling in his role as cover, the club sees right-back as a priority area for improvement.

While Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold remains their primary target for the summer, when he could be available as a free agent, Real Madrid is looking into other options for the second half of the season.

Marca reports that two players have emerged as frontrunners: Tottenham’s Pedro Porro and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong. These additions, if pursued, would not interfere with the potential summer arrival of Alexander-Arnold.
