As the season progresses, Real Madrid has gradually found its form, recently achieving four consecutive victories and six wins with one draw in the last seven matches. Coach Ancelotti's coaching abilities are indeed strong; even with the arrival of Mbappe disrupting the team's balance and the club facing serious injury issues, Real Madrid has not fallen behind, maintaining its competitiveness and improving recently. With the winter transfer window now open, Real Madrid has also made a significant acquisition. Official announcement! Real Madrid's first winter transfer signing is out, with the "Old Buddha" finding a treasure, an 18-year-old promising center-back coming to support Ancelotti.
On January 9th, Beijing time, La Liga's Leganes officially announced that they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid regarding the transfer of Ramini Fati, with the young Fati set to leave the team to play for Real Madrid. Fati is a physically strong, defensively aggressive central defender with ball control skills, fitting the profile of a tough and reliable center-back, with commendable footwork and the attribute of a "swordsman" defender.
Fati has been outstanding in Leganes' youth training system; last season, while playing for Leganes U19A, he helped the team reach the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey Youth Edition. This season, Fati has played over 900 minutes for Leganes' reserve team, scoring one goal in the Tercera Division. Real Madrid must have seen Fati's talent to bring him into the team. According to authoritative journalist Fabrizio Romano, Fati's transfer fee is 100,000 euros.
Although Fati, signed by Real Madrid, is not a well-known star, this signing is still crucial. Fati's arrival can help strengthen the youth team and be used by the first team. Real Madrid faces personnel issues at the center-back position, and Fati's joining provides the team with more options.
Last season, Real Madrid's central defenders Militao and Alaba both suffered knee injuries; Alaba has yet to return, and Militao experienced another knee ligament injury this season, with both knees now seriously injured, casting doubts on his career prospects. Currently, Real Madrid has available central defenders such as Rudiger, Tchouameni, Asensio, and Vallejo. Among them, Rudiger missed only one game this season, Tchouameni played as a makeshift center-back from the defensive midfield, Asensio, who came up from the youth team, is not very reassuring, and Ancelotti does not trust Vallejo.
Real Madrid needs to strengthen its center-back position; the young Fati is a promising new addition for Real Madrid, and his joining will enhance the depth of Real Madrid's center-back lineup. The second half of the season has already begun, with a dense schedule for Real Madrid, and the arrival of new signings can alleviate some concerns for the club to a certain extent.
