Davide Ancelotti's call to Real Madrid to take a player

The unexpected call Madrid received to allow a player to leave due to Davide Ancelotti's interest

During Carlo Ancelotti's time at Real Madrid, his son Davide was his right-hand man. Despite their clear relationship, both maintained a professional relationship within the team, guiding Real Madrid to several successes. Now, with Davide as Botafogo's coach, and according to what we know at Defensa Central, Real Madrid received a call from him.

This was with the intention of signing one of the team's players to strengthen the Brazilian squad. While the player whose signing was requested is unknown, Davide's intention is clear. Since he has an excellent relationship with Real Madrid, Davide sought to take advantage of this to make his star signing of the summer transfer window.

Unfortunately for him, no player in the squad showed interest in leaving Real Madrid during this transfer window. The closest to an exit was Dani Ceballos due to Olympique de Marseille's interest. However, despite having everything agreed with the French club, the transfer ended up falling through.

Ancelotti's interest

Despite his departure at the end of last season, Ancelotti remains a very memorable name for Real Madrid. It is no wonder, since the Italian coach was responsible for two glorious eras at the club. While Carlo Ancelotti is already a legend on the bench, Davide has only just begun to build his own.

At just 36 years old, Davide is still building a solid project at Botafogo. The club, after winning the Copa Libertadores, has the clear goal of continuing to fight for this and more trophies. Because of this, faced with the need to make a qualitative leap, he turned to Real Madrid to request the signing of a player.

Although some like Rodrygo Goes were surrounded by exit rumors, nothing was ever finalized. Real Madrid, above all, has focused on continuing to expand its squad with key signings. While Davide trusted the good relationship with the club, it has set its plans to succeed this season.

The search at another club

Given the demanding season Real Madrid will play, Xabi Alonso has made it clear that he will make many rotations. This ensures that the vast majority, if not the entire squad, will be able to play minutes. Given this opportunity, the players' decision not to leave Real Madrid is understandable.
