Carlo Ancelotti: 'Real Madrid don't need another forward'

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that the club is not looking to buy another forward this summer.

The European champions, who already boast a wealth of attacking riches, have recently been linked with a move for Monaco striker Radamel Falcao.

However, Ancelotti insists that he is happy with the squad that is already at his disposal following the summer signings of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez.

"It's not so important to have a centre-forward to score a lot of goals, but rather a player to play (Gareth) Bale or (Cristiano) Cristiano in," he is quoted as saying by Marca.

"We're not going to look for another forward because we don't need one."

Los Blancos return to pre-season action on Tuesday when they play Roma in Dallas.
