Despite being rumoured to be making a move for Jude Bellingham, or even a backup striker to Karim Benzema, Ancelotti stated that there was no need for new faces, 90min confirmed.

"We're doing very well, we don't need players. At the transfer level they're not needed. I think we're better than last year, just look," he said.

While the Italian manager ruled out bringing in new faces, he added that they weren't against departures.

"As for departures, if those who play less consider it, it's their decision," he added.

Despite Ancelotti's stance on the transfer situation, Los Blancos continue to be linked with a move for Bellingham.

The English midfielder is said to be their top priority signing during the upcoming transfer window.

They face competition from Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United for the player’s signature.
