Real Madrid appeared to be in good shape for another successful season, barring a potential issue up front, but injuries struck just before the season began.
In the same game, they lost both Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, and while Kepa Arrizabalaga has been brought in on loan to fill in for the former, it now appears that Los Blancos will try to get through the rest of the season without a replacement for the latter.
But that doesn’t mean they didn’t give it some thought. According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, Gabriel Magalhaes, a crucial player for Mikel Arteta and a Brazilian center back, was a top target for Madrid. However, Magalhaes has only started one Premier League game this year and has been on the bench for both.
According to the article, Gabriel opted to stay put and told Real Madrid “no,” but it is noted that he will likely still be on their list of potential targets down the road as they search for long-term solutions to strengthen the defensive core.
