Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has ruled out the possibility of signing players in the summer transfer market.

Goals from David Alaba and Karim Benzema gave Real Madrid a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and a fifth UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

Los Blancos have thus far signed Aurélien Tchouaméni and Antonio Rudiger in what has been a relatively quiet transfer window.

The La Liga champions aren't looking to bring in more players this transfer window as they are satisfied with their current squad depth.

"If Karim Benzema gets injured we have so many attackers that I am not worried," Florentino Perez said after the Super Cup.
"With the squad we have, we do not contemplate any more signings."

Reports in the Spanish press suggest that the Merengues will wait at least until winter to sign someone upfront.

However, the club is open to selling Mariano and are still willing to utilise Eden Hazard as the backup option to Benzema.

Meanwhile, Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid are currently in negotiations with Madrid-based club Getafe over the transfer of Juanmi Latasa.

The Real Madrid youth player has no place in Carlo Ancelotti's team and is looking to join the La Liga club for the upcoming season.

Latasa, who has contract with Madrid until 2024, was hoping to play as second fiddle to Karim Benzema, but he wasn't even considered by Ancelotti during the preseason.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Real Madrid are in need of a new striker, but Karim Benzema knows who Los Blancos shouldn’t bring in.

The French striker has been expertly leading the line for the Spanish champions, but Madrid have struggled for goals when their talisman striker hasn’t played.

As reported by The Real Champs, Madrid are selling some of their other strikers and looking to bring in a reliable goal-getter who can deputize for Benzema.
