In a recent media interaction, Coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed that he is experimenting with a 4-4-2 formation alongside the usual 4-3-3. According to Marca, this is one of the strategies Ancelotti plans to use after signing Kylian Mbappe, with Bellingham playing behind the Mbappe-Vinicius duo.
Diario AS reported that Real Madrid welcomed back center-back Jesus Vallejo from injury. With Eder Militao and David Alaba unavailable, Ancelotti might give academy talents Jacobo Ramon, Raul Asencio, or Joan Martinez a chance.
Ancelotti confirmed the squad for the upcoming season, noting Vallejo’s return and highlighting the club’s young talents. Real had intended to sign Lille’s center-back Leny Yoro, but Manchester United secured the player first.
