Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has categorically ruled out the signing of Kylian Mbappe before the transfer window closes next week. Speculation has been circulating about a potential move for the Paris St Germain forward, but Ancelotti insists that Real Madrid’s squad is complete and the players are focused on the upcoming season.
In addition, Ancelotti stated that Real Madrid is unlikely to make any further transfers in the current window, which closes on September 1. He emphasized that the squad is already finalized and the team is fully concentrated on their objectives.
Despite the transfer window remaining open in Saudi Arabia beyond September 1, potentially allowing clubs from the Gulf nation to poach European talents, Ancelotti remains unfazed. He expressed confidence in his team and stated that he is not concerned about players changing their minds.
Regarding Luka Modric, who did not start in Real Madrid’s first two league games, Ancelotti denied any speculation about the midfielder being unhappy. He confirmed that Modric has defined his future and has no issues with his current situation. Ancelotti believes that Modric will contribute to the team as always, despite the unusual circumstances.
Ancelotti also announced that new signing Kepa Arrizabalaga, on loan from Chelsea, will make his debut in goal during Real Madrid’s first home league game of the season. This decision comes after Thibaut Courtois underwent surgery on a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee, with Andriy Lunin taking over goalkeeping duties in the opening two matches.
Overall, Ancelotti’s statements provide clarity on Real Madrid’s transfer plans and the team’s focus heading into the new season.
