Ancelotti has been resounding: ”there will be no more signings”. According to the Italian coach, right now his squad is closed, but would Asensio’s departure change anything? Let’s break it down:
Real Madrid has been clear with the Balearic, they do not intend to offer him an improvement in his contract and they want him to leave because they run the risk that he will leave for free in the summer of 2023. If he leaves, he would leave a gap in attack and if The minutes that he is going to play a priori are going to be few. In case he leaves, would a backup be needed?
Playing in Madrid is the most difficult thing in football and the competition is maximum, hence there are players who do not want to come to occupy a position on the bench and play the “garbage” minutes. As the club has leaked, this year Lucas Vázquez is going to be considered a winger, so Real Madrid would have Rodrygo, Lucas and Fede Valverde on the right (who always appears there in case of using the 4-4- two). The question comes now, is any footballer going to want to come to the Real Madrid forward so as not to play? We have the clearest example with Benzema. He is the best striker in the world and his ownership is indisputable. Jovic came as a great striker and has gone out the back door without having played three straight games as a starter, hence the substitute striker this year will be Borja Mayoral.
The left wing is covered with Hazard and Vinicius, two reliable players. The striker with Benzema and Mayoral, (in the event of a serious injury to Karim or Hazard, he would take his position or go to the market for an emergency transfer). And the right wing without Asensio has three players. Seeing that it is most possible for Real Madrid to play with the 4-4-2 due to the overbooking of players in the midfield, the answer is clear: you do NOT have to sign anyone in case Asensio leaves the club .
