Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti is pleased with the improvements made during the transfer window

Prior to their preseason tour of the United States, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti stated that he was entirely focused on the Spanish capital city club.

The 64-year-old Italian, who is regarded as one of the most successful coaches in the modern era and has been rumored to take over as head coach of the Brazilian national team once his contract at Real Madrid expires, said he does not intend to talk about the subject further at least until the end of June 2024, when his current contract with the Spanish team expires.

The manager, who was born in Reggiolo, said, “I will never speak about Brazil, about what is going to happen.

He reaffirmed, “I am the Real Madrid coach and I am staying here. I will never bring up this subject again.

When journalists pressed the Italian about the potential of the 14-time Champions League champion Spanish team signing Kylian Mbappe, they were met with a stone wall.

The player Mbape isn’t at Real Madrid. And it doesn’t feel appropriate to me to speak about guys who aren’t here,” the 64-year-old asserted.

The 24-year-old PSG sensation was on the verge of joining Florentino Perez’s squad last year but made a spectacular U-turn and extended his contract with the Parisian club until 2024, making the Mbappe transfer story one of the most protracted and over-hyped rumors in recent years.

Mbappe recently startled the world by declaring that he does not want to extend his contract with the Ligue 1 winners and instead wants to see out his current deal in Paris. However, this would mean that PSG loses their most valuable player for nothing the next campaign, something the Qatar-based team does not want to happen.

The PSG hierarchy has said that they would rather the 24-year-old World Cup champion sign an extension or depart during the current transfer window in order to generate some revenue for the French powerhouses.

Ancelotti also discussed the additions Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler have made to Madrid’s roster during the current transfer window. These players join a group that already includes incredible young talents like Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, and Fede Valverde in addition to seasoned players Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.

The team has improved, according to Ancelotti.

Karim Benzema, who left Madrid to join Saudi Pro League team Al Ittihad, has been replaced by Spanish striker Joselu on the team.

“Karim, a club icon and a player who has been essential for years, has left us. We wish him the best. The 64-year-old said, “But we have a very youthful bunch that we are certain will offer us a great deal of pleasure.

On Monday, Madrid plays an exhibition match against AC Milan at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.
