Real Madrid are preparing to face Leganes in LaLiga on Sunday, November 24. Carlo Ancelotti's team arrive at the game on second place in the league table, six points behind leaders Barcelona, but with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Los Blancos have set their sights on Vitor Reis to solve their defensive conundrum. Elsewhere, Arda Guler is considering a departure from the Santiago Bernabeu.
On that note, let's take a look at the major Real Madrid transfer stories from November 18, 2024.
Real Madrid eyeing Vitor Reis
According to SPORT, Real Madrid are planning to sign Vitor Reis in January. The LaLiga champions are currently short of defenders, with Eder Militao joining David Alaba on the sidelines.

The Brazilian picked up an ACL injury before the international break and is unlikely to recover before the end of this season. Alaba, meanwhile, is yet to return to full fitness since picking up a similar injury in December last year.
Los Blancos are also without Dani Carvajal, who ruptured his ACL last month. The situation has forced Real Madrid to consider options in the market ahead of January.
Reis has been in fine form for Palmeiras lately and has been on Los Blancos' radar for a while. The Brazilian is versatile enough to operate at center and as a right-back, which will be a bonus for Carlo Ancelotti.
The 18-year-old is under contract with the Brazilian side until 2028, but he could be an option for the LaLiga giants in January. However, they could also rely on the options at hand for now and target the player in the summer.
Arda Gular considering Real Madrid exit
Arda Guler is considering his future at Real Madrid, according to SPORT. The 19-year-old has struggled for game time under Carlo Ancelotti this season and is a frustrated figure at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Guler has appeared 12 times across competitions this season, but only three have been starts. The Turkey international has registered just 307 minutes of first-team action and is frustrated by his situation.
Manchester United are keeping a close eye on the matter and are ready to tempt him with a shot at regular football. The player is highly rated at the Santiago Bernabeu and Los Blancos consider him an integral part of their future.
However, they could be tempted to accept a loan proposal in January, to help him gather valuable minutes. Guler is tempted by the idea of moving to the Premier League.
Los Blancos confident about Alphonso Davies' move
According to AS, Real Madrid are convinced that Alphonso Davies will move to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2025. The Canadian's contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire at the end of this season and he hasn't signed a new deal yet.
The LaLiga giants have made him a priority target ahead of next summer. The player's agent, Nedal Huoseh, recently denied any agreement with any of his suitors.
However, Los Blancos have reportedly gathered an idea of Davies' potential contract and have already presented their plan to the player's entourage. While they are quietly confident of a move, Real Madrid will not engage in a bidding war for the 24-year-old.
Recent reports have suggested that Manchester United also have Alphonso Davies on their radar.
