Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti
Real Madrid are ready to offload Jesus Vallejo this month, but the player instead wants to see out his contract, according to journalist Miguel Angel Diaz. The Spanish defender is a peripheral figure at the Santiago Bernabeu and his deal runs out at the end of this season.
Los Blancos are in a defensive mini-crisis at the moment, following the ACL injuries to Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal. With David Alaba yet to return to full fitness, the LaLiga champions are short of personnel at the back.
Despite the emergency, Real Madrid have refrained from utilizing Vallejo to address the issue. Carlo Ancelotti has deployed Aurelien Tchouameni in defense, while youngster Raul Asencio has also been promoted to the senior side.
