CARLO REFUTES RUMOURS

New Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti failed to dismiss suggestions that his club are looking to sign both Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez before the end of the transfer window. Real only recently managed to bring in Ancelotti after months of negotiations with French club PSG. After failing to win the league and the Champions League last season, the club are looking to aim for glory in both fronts by signing high-quality attacking players. Both Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez have had extraordinary seasons with Tottenham and Liverpool respectively.

They will cost in excess of £ 100 million combined, but that has not prevented Real Madrid from continually being linked with a move for their services. Even though Tottenham have categorically stated that Bale is not for sale at any price, the same has not been the case with Suarez. The Uruguay star is thought to be extremely frustrated with life in England. Even though he does not have anything against Liverpool, he could demand a transfer in order to move away from England.

Ancelotti has failed to comment on the transfer speculation by saying that it is extremely early days that he is working with the squad. He will know more about the squad in the coming days. The Spanish giants have already made a couple of signings in various areas of the pitch.

“We’ve not spoken of signings because today is the first day I am here. I cannot give any information on the players who might come in or those who will leave. The squad is very good. In the next few days we will talk with the club about what we need,” said Ancelotti in his first press conference as the Real Madrid manager. Suarez scored 30 goals for Liverpool in all competitions before being banned by the English FA for biting Chelsea defender Ivanovic.
