The politics of signings of the Real Madrid is generating a lot of doubts in Carlo Ancelotti. By second consecutive summer, Florentino Pérez puts the focus in the possible signing of Kylian Mbappé and, in spite of the exit of Karim Benzema, the club follows without fichar a centrodelantero for the 2023/24. In accordance with 'Relief', this has bothered a lot to a 'Carletto' the one who, in spite of having confirmed his continuity in May, still has possibilities to go out.

And it is that the presence in Europe of Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the Brazilian Confederation of Football (CBF) for the friendly that the 'scratch' will contest in front of Guinea (Barcelona) and Senegal (Lisbon) well can allow approach again to the Italian technician, main favourite of the CBF to head to the 'seleçao'. In the meantime, the Madrid conforms with the arrival of Jude Bellingham and reinforcements of second line like Brahim Díaz and, possibly, Joselu.

Mbappé Has very difficult his arrival this year and the Madrid can remain without '9'

In this sense, Ancelotti knows that the options for fichar to Mbappé this year are almost invalid. Paris Saint-Germain will not leave him go out by less than 250 'kilos' and the internal pressure on the forward forces him to remain , at least, a year more in France. The club follows without fichar to the replacement of Benzema and the options that offers the market (Kane, Havertz) well can dissipate if Florentino does not bid prompt by any of them.

Besides, the fault of reinforcements in other positions (the right side, for example) do that 'Carletto' question the capacity of the staff 'merengue' to try win it everything in the 2023/24. The Madrid spent €105m in Bellingham, but the year happened already followed suit putting 80 'kilos' by a Tchouaméni that did not fulfil with the expectations. The team needs goals and the directive only has eyes for Mbappé. Like this, it will be difficult to have a successful market this summer and the one of Reggiolo knows it.

Other exits can complicate more the things with Ancelotti

On the other hand, to the Italian also him incomodan the long to define the future of key men like Luka Modric, Nacho and Dani Ceballos. The Madrilenian press gives by done his renewals, but the three footballers have good offers on the table that surpass what offers the Madrid. Especially Modric, to the one who the Arab league tempts him with a similar agreement to the that signed Benzema. If Florentino does not define prompt how will remain the staff 'merengue' this summer, will have to force to his trainer to say that it is "happy" with what has.
