Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti won't rule out working the January market.
Cruzeiro president Gilvan Tavares has confirmed they've rejected a Real offer for Lucas Silva.
Ancelotti said: "We have to wait for the Christmas period, when everything will be much clearer:
"Khedira's recovery, Modric's... Then we'll make a decision. We are interested in Lucas Silva, but also in other players.
"After the Club World Cup we'll make a decision by evaluating the situations of the midfielders who are injured at the moment."
