Liverpool could determine a new Real Madrid transfer plan

According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid's upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool might determine a new transfer plan.

Real Madrid seem like a club without a lack of direction right now. The panic button does not need to be pressed so soon after winning the Champions League and La Liga but Los Blancos don't look promising with following those accolades up.

It was reported this week that Carlo Ancelotti is managing his final season at Real Madrid. After then, it is Xabi Alonso who is targeted to replace the Italian boss.

Speaking of Xabi Alonso, the Spanish midfielder is a club legend shared by Real Madrid and Liverpool. It is the Merseyside club who might decide Real Madrid's transfer plan.

Liverpool could determine a new Real Madrid transfer plan

According to a report from AS, Real Madrid will wait until they face Liverpool at the end of this month. Then, they will decide their January transfer plan based on this.

If Real Madrid travel to Anfield and put on a spectacle away from home, they might feel like they can push through until the end of the season without signing any players.

However, if (touch wood they don't), Real Madrid lose by a humiliating manner at Anfield, then it will become clear to Florentino Perez and company that new signings must be made in January.

This should come as no surprise to Real Madrid fans. In the last few seasons, hardly any players have been signed. While huge names have arrived, there haven't been many. Real Madrid are all about quality, not quantity.

This is part of the reason why Real Madrid remain a superclub. They are financially dominant because they are frugal about the amount of money they spend on incomings.

Not only do they wish to save money on transfer fees, they are known to include sell-on or buy-back clauses in any players they let go, meaning they have an edge over their competitors in the transfer market.

There is plenty of discourse surrounding Real Madrid and Liverpool in the transfer window. Real Madrid would like to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool and the same can be said vice versa with regard to Aurelien Tchouameni.

With that in mind, the upcoming spectacle between the two giant clubs might inspire more action from Real Madrid in the January transfer window. Florentino Perez will be watching with beady eyes.
