While the future of Kylian Mbappé fuels debates and press conferences, Carlo Ancelotti did not hide his annoyance this week.
Not a day goes by without the question coming back to the table: will Kylian Mbappé sign for Real Madrid this summer? By announcing his desire not to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2024, the 2018 world champion angered his leaders.
“My position is very clear. I don’t want to repeat every time: if Kylian wants to stay, we want him to stay, released Nasser Al-Khelaïfi two weeks ago. But he needs to sign a new contract. We don’t want to lose the best player in the world for free. It’s impossible. It’s a French club. He said he would never go free. If he changes his mind today, it’s not my fault. We don’t want to lose the best player in the world for free. It’s very clear“.

Still, this tension is also palpable on the other side of the Pyrenees. As he was able to do during certain press conferences last season, Carlo Ancelotti did not hide his annoyance when he was asked about this soap opera. ” I have never talked about players who are not at Real Madrid, the Italian manager told journalist Mario Cortegana. I can talk about Bellingham, Arda Güler, Fran Garcia and Brahim… Talking about players from other clubs is not fair. The message got through.
