MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid are in good shape so did not need to spend big in the January transfer window unlike clubs in the Premier League, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Wednesday.
Premier League teams spent a record 815 million pounds ($1.00 billion) in the January transfer window, an analysis from Deloitte's Sports Business Group said, with more than 275 million pounds spent on Tuesday's deadline day alone
Real, second in LaLiga, did not make any signings in the winter window but nor did they sell any of their players as they make a push to retain the league and Champions League titles they won last season along with other silverware
"We did not address the (January) market because we did not need to," Ancelotti told a news conference ahead of Thursday's LaLiga match against Valenci
"If you do your planning well, you do not need to go the market (in January)
"If you have to address the market, it means that something went wrong. We thought that we didn't need to... because we see our squad in good shape."Related video: LaLiga still superior despite Premier League's spending - Pellegrini
