Ancelotti has a disagreement with Real Madrid management over the transfer of the centre-back
This summer, Real Madrid found themselves without their legendary central defender, Nacho Fernández, and considered replacing him with Leny Yoro, who ultimately transferred from Lille to Manchester United. However, Real Madrid did not secure any new center-backs.
As a result, the club is left with only two nominal central defenders in the squad: Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão. David Alaba is not expected to return before November due to a cruciate ligament injury. Aurélien Tchouaméni is also capable of covering the center-back position if needed.
According to Relevo, this situation has greatly disappointed Carlo Ancelotti, who believes his team is lacking at least one central defender. The Italian coach is reportedly baffled by the club's lack of action in addressing this issue.
On the other hand, Real Madrid's management was not convinced by any other options besides Yoro, considering not only the players' abilities but also the financial aspects of potential deals.
There were also reports during the summer that Real Madrid might sign central defender Aymeric Laporte from Al-Nassr.
Recall, in the 4 starting rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid scored 8 points.
