Carlo Ancelotti makes Real Madrid shock transfer claim amid deadline day calmness.
On the other hand though, a lot of experience and quality departed the club. The likes of Gareth Bale, Isco, Marcelo and perhaps most importantly, Casemiro, are no longer at Real Madrid.
On the other side, the club lost a lot of talent and experience. The likes of Casemiro, Isco, Marcelo, and Gareth Bale are no longer part of Real Madrid.
One might contend that this team is weaker than it was the year before, especially given the fact that several Real Madrid starters are above the age of 30.
However, according to Ancelotti, the club made more recruits this summer without giving it a second thought. The Real Madrid manager was quoted as saying: “We have never hesitated to add more players.
“In terms of departures, we assess Casemiro or [Marco] Asensio’s circumstances, but I’m pleased because those who have remained have consistently performed and will do so once more this year.
There are numerous players whose contracts only have one year left, but that’s not a problem.
Ancelotti surprises with a Relative to Real Madrid
It appears as though Ancelotti is either quite at ease and confident in his team, or he knew from the start that Real Madrid would not be making many additions this summer.
Whichever one it is, the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of areas in this squad which could do with more reinforcements but the necessary additions have not been made to it over the course of the summer.
The situation is far from perfect, especially when you consider how many additions Barcelona have made to their squad over the course of the summer, and Xavi’s side might very well be in the running for the top domestic and European titles once again.
