Real Madrid has saved Carlo Ancelotti for another season - the 64-year-old will work in Madrid until the end of his contract, after which he will take charge of the Brazilian national team. As for Kylian Mbappe, the question is still open. Whether the star Frenchman will be at Real Madrid this summer or will move in a year, or even choose another team.
Mbappe's absence and Karim Benzema's move to Saudi Arabia point to potential attacking problems for the Madrid club in the new season. Centre-forward signings include Joselu, who has played for Alaves and Espanyol. But is he enough?
In addition to Joselu, Real Madrid has signed midfielders Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund and Arda Guler from Fenerbahce, left-back Fran Garcia from Rayo Vallecano, and returned midfielder Brahim Diaz on loan from AC Milan.
Milan
Before leaving for the USA, Milan played a match in two halves of 30 minutes against Lumezzane, a club from the lower Italian leagues. They won with a score of 7:0. Tomaso Pobega and Lorenzo Colombo scored two goals each, and Junior Messias, young Romero, and Zeroli scored once each.
The most significant transfer of Milan in the current off-season is the transfer of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle for 64 million euros. The Rossoneri signed three players - Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic from Chelsea, and Tijjani Reijnders from AZ Alkmaar, thus almost completely renewing the midfield.
Expert Betting Tips
Karim Benzema's departure could be a huge problem for Real Madrid. The Frenchman has closed the center-forward position in Madrid for many years, and there is simply no equivalent replacement behind him. Perhaps, already in the first friendly game, the attacking difficulties of the team will make themselves known. That's why we're betting on AC Milan, especially since the Rossoneri have strengthened well, and we expect a low-scoring match.
