Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti blocked transfer due to 27-year-old s individualist attitude Reports

By Matthew Guyett Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The Italian blocked a move for De Tomas Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti blocked the signing of Espanyol striker Raul de Tomas due to his behavior at the RCDE Stadium, as per El Nacional. Los Blancos were searching for a backup to talisman Karim Benzema this summer and had set their sights on De Tomas. The Spanish striker impressed last season, scoring 17 goals in 36 appearances. Madrid were in no rush to make an offer for the player despite De Tomas being the club's top striker target, They ended up only signing defender Antonio Rudiger and midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. A move for De Tomas was blocked by Ancelotti and the reason the Italian manager allegedly had reservations over the signing was because the striker is too individualistic. Alongside this, Real Madrid were not willing to meet the €40 million asking price for the Spaniard. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post De Tomas ended up staying at Espanyol despite interest from Madrid and Rayo Vallecano. However, he is yet to make an appearance this season due to a falling out with manager Diego Martinez, per Football-Espana. He has four years left on his current deal with Martinez's side and is a former Madrid academy graduate. He managed just one competitive appearance for Los Blancos before leaving for Benfica in 2019 for £18 million.

Manchester United held interest in Real Madrid target De Tomas due to potential Cristiano Ronaldo departure

Ronaldo's future was uncertain throughout the summer Alongside Madrid's reported interest were Manchester United, who were looking to sign a potential replacement for former Galactico Ronaldo. Football Insider reports that the Red Devils tried to secure a deadline day move for the Spaniard but failed in their attempts. Ronaldo's future has been a huge talking point this summer with many having expected the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to depart Old Trafford. A return to the Bernabeu was touted, although president Florentino Perez quickly quashed any chances of a reunion occurring.

It remains to be seen if Madrid will be in the market for a striker in the next transfer window. Meanwhile, Benzema continues to flourish and has started the season off in fantastic form. The French striker has managed four goals and an assist in five games. He is touted to win this year's Ballon d'Or but perhaps Real Madrid are starting to realize that they can't place the goalscoring burden on Benzema for too much longer. The former Olympique Lyonnais forward has a year left to run on his contract with Real Madrid. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Matthew Guyett × Feedback Thank You!
