#4 January Transfer Window

Florentino Perez may have to make some big decisions in January

Adding to the previous point, come the month of January, Real Madrid will have the option to bolster a squad already brimming with talent in a bid to steady their ship and challenge for trophies in the business end of the season.

Whilst Zidane has previously stated that nothing needs to be changed, the recent El Clasico loss to their rivals FC Barcelona added to the fact that they find themselves in fourth place, 14 points behind the league leaders with a daunting Champions League round of 16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain in February, means that the club may be forced to splurge to ensure that they don't finish the season without silverware.

Many potential transfers and rumours have been circulating in the media for some time now, with the likes of Timo Werner, Mauro Icardi, Kepa Arrizabalaga amongst others being tipped to join during the transfer window. If Madrid do manage to make a high profile signing, their fortunes could take a turn for the better.
