Carlo Ancelotti needs players in specific positions, so a footballer was offered.

Real Madrid maintains the leadership of the La Liga after 8 days have passed. Carlo Ancelotti's team won 7 games, earning 21 of 24 possible points. Merengue's only defeat was in the match against Atlético de Madrid. In the classic in the Spanish capital, Álvaro Morata was the man of the match for his 2 goals. The 3-1 was completed by Antoine Griezmann and the discount by Toni Kroos. The 7 wins that Real Madrid achieved allow them to remain one point above Fútbol Club Barcelona.

The problem that the coach now has is the absence of some players such as Éder Militao, due to a serious injury to the ligaments in one of his knees, and Nacho Fernández, due to an expulsion in the last game against Girona. Regarding that red card, Ancelotti said at a press conference: “The mistake is that he lacked a little lucidity. Nacho understands it and is hurt and sad. Nobody has to have doubts. “Nacho has always been a correct player.” In addition to the losses in defense, Real Madrid is only now recovering Vinicius Junior, one of the best players on the squad.

Regarding Vini's recovery, and his performance in the match against Girona, the Italian technical director explained: “Vinicius is fine, I wanted to play more, but I preferred to avoid problems. He lacks a little spark, because it's been a month without playing, but these 70 minutes have been good for him." Due to the losses suffered by the white team, in recent days rumors about possible reinforcements began to circulate. Éder Militao's injury allowed Real Madrid to incorporate a player. However, the club gave up on taking that possibility, although now it can choose to add a professional who remains a free agent.

The player who offered himself to Real Madrid

Precisely because of the losses that Real Madrid has in defense, central defender Jerome Boateng offered to be hired by the Spanish club. According to Bild, the German called Florentino Pérez to offer his services. The world champion with Germany in 2014 is a free agent at the moment and is 35 years old. However, Pérez would have no intention of hiring Boateng.
