After Clásico win, Real Madrid reportedly consider a January without signings

After winning the Clásico, Real Madrid are reportedly considering making no signings in the next winter transfer window. This is being described as a plan rather than an official announcement, amid injuries and discussion about positions that may need strengthening, particularly in midfield.

The board is said to believe the current squad can compete and achieve the season’s objectives. Spanish media report that the club sees no reason to act in January and trusts José Mourinho to guide the available players towards the expected results. A quiet window would not rule out departures: a player who wanted to leave could do so with the Portuguese coach’s approval. That possibility is described as unlikely at this stage.

The club would continue to assess its options concerning young players out on loan. Jacobo Ramón and Nico Paz, players for Como, along with Rafa Marín and Víctor Muñoz, are among those whose futures are being closely monitored. Ramón’s name is also among the possible options to replace Antonio Rüdiger in the future. No return has been decided.

The cautious approach would apply both to new signings and to the possible return of loan players. Real Madrid would prefer to preserve the stability of the squad and postpone assessing its actual needs until later in the season, rather than make a rushed decision. For now, the reported intention is to avoid January reinforcements while continuing to review the young players’ situations.

The league table offers a snapshot of the club’s sporting position: Real Madrid are third in La Liga with 27 points after 11 matches. Their record is 9 wins, no draws and 2 losses, with 28 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last five La Liga games, they have four wins and one defeat. Those figures form part of the discussion about squad needs, but the board’s reported course for now would be to rely on the players already available.
