Casting call begins for Real Madrid's centre-back spot

In a game in which Ancelotti began to sort out the problems in the style of play and celebrated a resounding result, he went home worried. Injuries to Lucas Vazquez, Rodrygo and Eder Militao make the puzzle difficult for the Italian, especially the Brazilian centre-back, who will miss the entire season. With David Alaba still recovering, he has little choice but to turn to the market. Jesus Vallejo is not counting for the Italian, giving responsibility to a home-grown player like Raul Asensio is risky and alternatives - or stopgaps - like Dani Carvajal or Aurelien Tchouameni are also unavailable.

The priority is a centre-back. It won't be easy because the moment of the season doesn't help. Both ‘Relevo’ and ‘Marca’ agree on two names: Aymeric Laporte and Castello Lukeba. They adapt to the position of left-sided defender, but with very different profiles.
