Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti refused to answer questions related to Kylian Mbappe after the 4-0 victory over Girona in round 24 of La Liga.
Rumors of Mbappe leaving PSG to move to Real Madrid in the summer have been appearing more and more recently. “White Vulture” is expected to provide the French striker with a bribe worth 85 million pounds and split image rights at a ratio of 60/40.
Coach Ancelotti refused to answer questions about rumors of recruiting Mbappe
Coach Ancelotti was asked about Mbappe in the post-match press conference following Real Madrid’s 4-0 win over Girona. However, the Italian strategist refused to answer and turned to praising his students.
He said: “Why do you keep asking me about a player who plays for another team? We’ve got the best players in the world at Real Madrid. In order: Vinicius Jr best, Bellingham second, Rodrygo third. Then Kroos, Valverde, Camavinga…”
Mbappe has scored 242 goals in 289 matches for PSG but there are many opinions that he wants a new challenge at Real Madrid. However, PSG has not given up trying to retain their number 1 star and is expected to ask the French striker to sign a new 2-year contract.
The win over Girona helped Real Madrid widen the gap with their rival to 5 points in the La Liga championship race this season. However, Coach Ancelotti still asked his students not to be subjective.
The Italian strategist added: “It was a win of great significance in the race for the La Liga championship. Girona is a very good team. They haven’t lost away from home… We’re in a good position, we’ve played well so far. We have an advantage, but it’s only a small advantage.”
