Real Madrid have struggled for consistency so far this season after a remarkable campaign last term that saw them win both the Champions League and Champions League.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side followed that up with an emphatic win over Atalanta to win the UEFA Super Cup in August.

However, since then, results have not gone that way, both in the league and in the revamped Champions League.

Madrid are second in La Liga, nine points behind leaders Barcelona, ​​but have a game in hand as they sit 18th in the Champions League.

Conformable THATLos Blancos will use their next Champions League clash against Liverpool on November 27 as a “thermometer” test of whether they will consider new signings in the January transfer window or not.

The report claims Madrid are keeping calm about any potential transfers until they face the Reds at Anfield.

The Spanish giants previously opted not to make any January signings despite heavy defeats to Barcelona and AC Milan.

However, their position has softened and they will use the Liverpool game as a squad test to help them decide if they need to make changes.

Real Madrid have been hampered by injuries this season and the loss of Dani Carvajal is thought to have affected the club.

Madrid are looking to sign a replacement for the Euro 2024 winner, having been linked with a move for Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold.

A defeat at Anfield could see Madrid hit the transfer market to strengthen their squad as they look to defend their league and Champions League titles.
