Ancelotti asked if Real Madrid will sign PSG star Kylian Mbappe in January transfer window.
The shocking news that Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain for Real Madrid in January has prompted Carlo Ancelotti to respond.
According to rumors in Spain, Mbappe wants to leave PSG since his connection with the team is “totally destroyed.”
Before signing a lucrative new contract, the 23-year-old said last summer that he wanted to leave Paris.
Real’s eye-popping £154 million offer was rejected by PSG last summer, and the French club will also decline to sell the star forward to the Spanish powerhouse.
The media has however continued to query Ancelotti about the potential signing of Mbappe, who is reportedly considering a switch to Los Blancos.
Tuesday’s 1-1 tie between his team and Shakhtar Donetsk prompted him to ask: “If Mbappe will come in January? You’re brave to pose the question. I won’t respond.
He said, “I don’t have to respond.”
The Mbappe rumors started to circulate prior to PSG’s Champions League match against Benfica, and Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher denounced them.
And in reaction to rumors that their prized asset was leaving, club sports director Luis Campos made a furious statement.
He said, “I’m here to categorically deny that he (Mbappe) spoke to me or to my president about departing in January.” “This issue was never raised, and we never discussed it.
“We can’t talk about rumors all the time since they happen every day. However, this one is serious. the fact that my name is there. a result in the changing room? No, they have playing experience. Since it’s not actual news, the group won’t be disturbed.
“We communicate daily with Kylian, as well as Neymar, Danilo, Vitinha, and Verratti. We talk about the concepts that each player has.
“We spoke about recruitment a month ago. It was rather evident. And today, we make daily efforts to become stronger.”
In his team’s Tuesday 1-1 draw with Benfica, Mbappe converted a penalty.
