May 2025
Carlo Ancelotti defended Real Madrid’s transfer strategy amid a trophyless season, highlighting injuries to key defenders as the major factor. He expressed full support for the club’s ongoing rebuild, which includes deals for Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Álvaro Carreras.
Ancelotti ruled out regrets over January inaction, instead citing long-term absences of Éder Militão, Dani Carvajal, and others. With Ancelotti set to leave for Brazil, Xabi Alonso is expected to lead the new-look side at the Club World Cup.
