Real Madrid’s transfer window has been a mixed bag. Big names including Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio left the club early in the summer, but it is safe to say that Los Blancos have compensated well for the deficit through their signings.

In the form of Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Fran Garcia, Joselu, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, they have acquired the services of some bonafide starting-quality names.

With three wins out of three games so far, the squad has shown its prowess on the field. Yet, if one were to nitpick a department that is slightly worrying, it would be the attack. After all, Vinicius’ latest injury does not leave the manager in a good spot.

According to reports from MARCA, Real Madrid have been offered multiple attackers this summer. These include loan deals, direct purchases, and even loans with an option to buy.

However, the Merengues are firm in their stance that the market is closed for them. There will be no more signings this summer.

Ancelotti places his trust in the existing core

It is no secret that Carlo Ancelotti was the biggest advocate of signing a new centre-forward this summer.

The Italian tactician was a fan of Harry Kane, but the administration gave up its pursuit of the now Bayern Munich star after reopening the Kylian Mbappe saga.

Ever since, though, Ancelotti has maintained that he is more than satisfied with the squad and that there will be no more additions made.

“This squad is proving that it’s complete. We’re capable of winning without Courtois, Militão, Karim and Vini. This shows that the squad is well-assembled. They’ve done well,” he said after Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Celta Vigo earlier this week.

All eyes on Kylian Mbappe

Real Madrid’s reluctance to spend on an attacker this summer is directly related to their plan of bringing in Kylian Mbappe.

The Frenchman was expected to arrive in Madrid this summer, but his move fell through owing to numerous diverse factors and is now on the agenda for next summer.

Los Blancos’ pursuit of the star has not exactly gone to plan in recent years and one hopes that the stars align next summer.

Until then, Ancelotti will have to see off the ongoing season with limited resources, even more so after Vini Jr’s injury.
