MARCA, citing anonymous sources, reports that Real Madrid has already decided to make signings in two areas of the pitch.
This summer, Los Blancos signed strikers Kylian Mbappe and Endrick from Paris Saint-Germain and Palmeiras, respectively.
However, on numerous occasions following their arrivals, particularly in August as the transfer window closed, head coach Carlo Ancelotti claimed that no more additions would be made and was proven to be correct in his remark.

Though Madrid is only three points behind fierce rival FC Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table, its start to 2024/2025 hasn’t been ideal, with injuries piling up.
Central defender David Alaba has yet to return from an ACL tear sustained in late 2023, and as Eder Militao and Toni Rudiger have had to deal with their own hectic schedules, the occasional niggle has forced Aurelien Tchouameni to assist on the back line, leaving Ancelotti with one fewer man in midfield.
Dani Carvajal, Madrid’s right back, was stretchered off the ground in tears during Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Villarreal at the Bernabeu.
While he has promised to return “like a beast,” the Spain international might be out of action for up to a year.
When asked if he would look for a replacement for Carvajal after the match, Ancelotti stated that it was not “the day to talk about possible signings.”
“We have a lot of confidence in Lucas [Vazquez] and if we lose him we will look for someone in the squad to do that role. I won’t be [doing it],” joked Ancelotti, who was a respected midfielder in his own playing days.
