– Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Real Madrid will not sign another player ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
– Los Blancos have signed just two players so far this summer, as Antonio Rudiger joined on a free transfer and Aurelien Tchouameni arrived from Monaco.
– The Italian coach does not believe that Real Madrid need to further strengthen their squad despite the departures of Luka Jovic, Marcelo, Gareth Bale and Isco.

– “I can’t talk about signings, but I’ve already said that it’s all over,” Ancelotti told a press conference.
– “We’re not going to sign anyone. We’re fine as we are.”
– Ancelotti went on to praise the virtues of both Rudiger and Tchouameni, stressing that the US tour will help them adapt to their new team.
– “The signings bring great quality to the squad,” added Ancelotti.
– “They are, in their positions, the best we could find on the market. Rudiger is a great centre-back and Tchouameni [is great] too. He is very young and has a lot of potential.
– “He’s already an international with France. We’re taking advantage of this tour to help them adapt to the squad we have.”
– The Real Madrid coach also revealed that he is willing to try out playing Eden Hazard as a false no.9 when Karim Benzema needs some rest.
– “We have a lot of options for that position,” noted Ancelotti.
– “Benzema is first choice but we have to understand that it will be a strange, different season, with the World Cup in between and we have to look at different options.
– “My idea is to try to see Eden in that position. Given the quality that Eden has and his qualities, it could be good for us to try him there. It’s a similar case to [Marco] Asensio.”
