Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti insists that his squad is “complete” without the addition of striker Kylian Mbappe from Real Madrid. The La Liga giants have been linked with Mbappe for months, with many expecting the French star to join Madrid on a free transfer when his PSG contract runs out in 2024.
“The squad is fine,” Ancelotti said after his team defeated Manchester United 2-0 in a friendly in Houston, Texas. “We won’t have problems with the squad. A problem would be having a squad without quality…The squad is great. It’s complete.”
Ancelotti’s team was in fine form during Wednesday night’s game, with new $115 million signing Jude Bellingham opening the scoring by lobbing the ball over new United goalkeeper Andre Onana. Minutes before the final whistle, fellow summer signing Joselu doubled Madrid’s lead with a stunning overhead kick.
Speculation regarding Mbappe increased this summer following the departure of Madrid’s first-choice striker Karim Benzema, who signed for Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad.
