Real Madrid rule out more signings before deadline day, but exit doors remain open
Real Madrid has announced they will not make further signings before the summer transfer window closes, despite earlier interest in defensive reinforcements. The club remains open to player departures before the deadline.
Why it matters
The conclusion of Real Madrid's transfer activity marks the end of a high-profile recruitment cycle for one of the world's most prominent football clubs.
It would be fair to say that Real Madrid have had an eventful summer, with changes made to the coaching staff as well as the squad.
Jose Mourinho became the first major arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, followed by six major new signings to improve the roster.
Despite that, the Merengues continued to be linked with moves for a midfielder and another centre-back, with the manager understood to be still seeking reinforcements in the areas.
However, with the transfer deadline day almost upon us, journalist Jose Felix Diaz (via Ruben Martin YouTube ) reports that Real Madrid will not make any more new signings before the window closes.
Indeed, Los Blancos will not bring in any new players before the transfer window slams shut on Tuesday, 1 September, at midnight.
