Real Madrid has shown interest in acquiring Álex Jiménez, a talented 19-year-old Spanish player who is currently with AC Milan. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Jiménez has emerged as a priority for the La Liga giant because of his outstanding performances in Serie A. Although Real Madrid is keen on the young player, it is anticipated that Jiménez will stay with AC Milan until the season concludes, with the possibility of intensified negotiations in the forthcoming months. The summer transfer window might be pivotal for his potential transfer to Real Madrid, contingent on his continued performance improvement.

Real Madrid is contemplating the possibility of reacquiring Álex Jiménez, a former youth player, from Milan on a loan deal. Milan had previously paid five million euros for his transfer. Real Madrid is willing to discuss terms for his temporary return for a period of six months. The club perceives Álex Jiménez as an ideal candidate due to the urgent requirement for a right-back, given the current shortage of defensive options. The prospect of bringing Álex back on loan aligns with Real Madrid's existing strategy of avoiding significant financial expenditures during the winter transfer window, particularly in light of the substantial costs linked to other potential targets like Pedro Porro and Frimpong. This initiative is part of Real Madrid's broader plan to secure a short-term solution until the season's end, as they encounter difficulties in their attempts to acquire primary targets such as Alexander-Arnold.
