The holidays are over at Madrid. The players -with the exception of the internationals- are scheduled to meet on Monday at Ciudad Real Madrid to begin pre-season training. It will begin with the relevant medical examinations in the morning and the first session will take place in the afternoon.
At the same time as the club's return to work, the newspaper 'Marca' has reported that Carlo Ancelotti will hold a meeting with Florentino Perez and Jose Angel Sanchez to discuss the club's immediate future. On the table, issues such as the team's departures and arrivals.
The 'Merengues' have so far announced four signings -Bellingham, Fran Garcia, Joselu and Arda Guler-, one return -Brahim Diaz- and the departure of four players -Benzema, Mariano, Hazard and Asensio-. 'Los Blancos' are not considering any further reinforcements except for Mbappe, who continues his particular war with PSG.
The Frenchman is the icing on the cake, but Madrid still think it is best to wait until 2024 because he would be free (they would only pay the signing bonus). Men like Odriozola or Mendy could leave the Spanish club in search of opportunities.
The Madrid-based newspaper also reports that the meeting will discuss how Benzema, the club's star player in recent years, will be replaced. Joselu is the only '9' currently in the squad and it is not out of the question that Rodrygo could play up front.
Brazil's interest in Ancelotti will also be discussed. In fact, Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the CBF, confirmed a few days ago that the Italian was going to take charge of the 'Selecao' at the Copa America in 2024. Madrid's plan is to avoid tensions.
Another issue will be the system of play, as it is possible that the Italian coach will opt for four midfielders - a position in which there is an 'overbooking' - and leave aside the usual 4-3-3.
