Ancelotti: Florentino Perez Has Big Plans for July

Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is planning to be particularly active in the summer transfer window.

The Italian tactician noted that Los Blancos' objectives remain intact, despite the financial crisis in football caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"At Real Madrid, everything is the same and unchanged," Ancelotti told Corriere dello Sport.

"The only thing that changes are the coaches. The same physios, the same workers, the same journalists, the same vision, the same urgency for greatness, despite the economic damage caused by the pandemic.

"In one year, at the end of December 2022, the new [Estadio Santiago] Bernabeu will be ready and Florentino has big plans for July.

"Florentino has very serious intentions. [Signing Erling] Haaland in addition to [Kylian] Mbappe? Let's talk about it later."
