Carlo Ancelotti on Wednesday met with club CEO Jose Angel Sanchez to discuss the state of the team and transfer options following their 5-2 Spanish Supercopa loss to Barcelona this past weekend. The meeting was described as routine and there is not any crisis.
Ancelotti and his coaching staff have asked for more defensive resources since the summer transfer window. Madrid were close to signing Leny Yoro to cover Nacho\'s departure but the young French player eventually signed for Manchester United and Real Madrid opted not to reinforce the back line.
Madrid continue to seek a player to replace the injured right-back Dani Carvajal and Liverpool\'s Trent Alexander-Arnold is their top defensive option. However, ESPN sources have said that Liverpool have already rejected an approach from Real Madrid.
