There is still quite a long time left and I think for now in this January transfer window they will still prioritize about the defense rather than for strikers. Because after all, by looking at the current situation, their defense still looks weak with several players who have fitness problems such as Militao who must be out for a long time and Rudiger and Alaba who are still very vulnerable to injury.
Madrid must consider this because if this continues to be allowed to recruit then I think this could disrupt their stability. As for the current striker problem, even though this is also a little bit important, but until now their attacking line is still quite good even if they try to bring in a pure striker now, it's actually not a problem, it's just that it's rare to transfer star players in January because they always rely on the end of the season to sign bigger players (star players).
If we are talking about priorities, then surely the defense must be the top priority because it is still quite vulnerable even though it is still quite good but still if in the end this is allowed then it could be a time bomb for Madrid because some players who are forced to be in defense are not all happy because seeing from the responses that Tchouameni gave on several occasions he actually complained a little because his position was a little different which made the situation of performance a little disturbed.
Ancelotti must be smarter in this matter even though they are still in good condition but still for this defense they must strengthen with the number of injured players now.
As for the striker issue, they still want this but in the end we know that until now their midfield and attack still look very good with Jude as the foundation and several other players who answer the opportunities given such as Brahim Dias and Joselu or several other young players who are starting to heat up like Rodrigo.
There is an interesting thing now that Ancelotti talked about in an interview by saying that he is still not planning to bring in a center-back for Madrid even though Militao and Alaba are confirmed to be out for a long time now.
When asked about a new center-back signing, Ancelotti said: "At this time, we are not considering signing another center-back. We are missing two very important center-backs, but we have two others whom we trust a lot, Rüdiger and Nacho, and Tchouameni and Carvajal can do well in an emergency.
Indirectly he'll be pushing Nacho now as an option for the loss of Alaba and of course in the worst case scenario he'll definitely push Tchouameni and Carvajal in a more urgent situation.
Honestly, I don't like this idea because with the current schedule I think Ancelotti is gambling at great risk if he continues to force their situation now and this is what I don't really like about Ancelotti's leadership in Madrid because this is not the first time he has done this considering that previously when Benzema was injured he also did the same thing and ended up failing Madrid in almost all competitions.
