Real Madrid are set to close the winter transfer window without making any signings, with Carlo Ancelotti and the club’s board at odds over transfer plans.

Despite Ancelotti’s long-standing belief that a new centre-back is needed, the club have decided against adding to the squad.

Reports from AS confirm that no moves will be made today, even though the transfer window remains open until midnight. The club are focusing on their current squad, with no immediate additions expected.
Ancelotti had pushed for the addition of a centre-back over a month ago, but without pressing the issue. The club, however, have opted to wait until the summer for any significant changes. Despite concerns over Antonio Rudiger’s injury, Real Madrid will rely on their existing roster.

With David Alaba set to return to action soon, Real Madrid are confident in their defence, and players like Aurelien Tchouameni and Lucas Vazquez are expected to take on more responsibility as the season continues.
