Rafa Benitez -- the same Rafa Benitez who is unbeaten in the Champions League and two points off the top in La Liga -- is hanging on by a thread. His job in question, the Real Madrid boss would benefit greatly from solid business in the January transfer window.
Below are three transfers he should consider to help the club win "La Undecima," Madrid's 11th European title.

Thibaut Courtois, GK, Chelsea
Admittedly, this is more of a luxury buy. Madrid already boast one of the top GKs in all of football in Keylor Navas. But his treatment over the summer -- openly trying to ship him to Manchester United in favor of David De Gea -- made the club's intentions known.
Thibaut Courtois would serve as the perfect replacement.
Real Madrid Must Target Robert Lewandowski At All Costs
The Chelsea keeper wants out of Stamford Bridge and is desperately looking for a return to the Spanish capital, per Metro.
Courtois spent three seasons with Atletico Madrid from 2011-14.

Ignacio Camacho, M, Malaga
Thanks to club president Florentino Perez, there is no balance in Madrid's midfield. Casemiro serves as the only true defensive midfielder in the 18.
Talented as he is, the 23-year-old still requires cover and competition.
Ignacio Camacho would provide just that.
The Malaga midfielder returned after missing weeks with a broken fibular. He's averaging 2.3 tackles and three INTs per match, according to WhoScored.
Jose Luis Gaya, D, Valencia
Madrid undoubtedly have one of the game's top left-backs in Marcelo ... they also just happen to have one of the most fragile ones.
Jose Luis Gaya won't provide the Brazilian the same level of competition Danilo is providing Dani Carvajal at right-back, but he would serve as a much-needed insurance policy.
