Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari is happy to duck questions about the winter market.

For the Argentine, the decision of whether or not to make any signings in January is not his to make.

"I don't know about this issue, as winter signings aren't my area," he said at a press conference on Wednesday ahead of the Copa del Rey second leg against Melilla.

"There are 24 players in the squad, plus those who are at Castilla.

"I see that they all have desire and motivation.

"This Thursday is a holiday and lots of people will come along to the match, we want to see several different players on the pitch."
