Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti recently announced that the team will not be making any more signings this summer. Despite missing out on French center-back Leny Yoro, Ancelotti believes that the squad is well-covered in that position. With the departures of Nacho, Rafa Marín, and Joselu, the veteran coach is confident in the young center-backs and players currently training with the team.
Veteran players such as Nacho and Joselu have recently left Real Madrid, with Nacho joining Al Qadsiah and Joselu moving to Qatari side Al Gharafa. Additionally, German midfielder Toni Kroos retired from football after Euro 2024, leaving a gap in the team that Ancelotti acknowledges. However, the coach is optimistic about finding alternatives to replace Kroos and move forward with the team.
Real Madrid is set to kick off their U.S. summer tour with a match against Ancelotti’s former club, AC Milan, at Soldier Field in Chicago. This will be followed by a highly-anticipated Clásico against FC Barcelona at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The tour will conclude with a match against Chelsea at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ancelotti and his team are gearing up for these exciting fixtures and looking to make an impact.
As Real Madrid prepares for the upcoming season, Ancelotti’s decision to close the squad for the summer transfer window indicates his confidence in the current roster. Despite the departures and retirements, the coach is focused on preparing the team for the challenges ahead. With promising young talent and experienced players, Real Madrid is ready to face top opponents in the upcoming tour matches. The fans are eager to see how the team performs under Ancelotti’s guidance and how they will adapt to the changes in the squad.
