Ancelotti settled the ‘Mbappé issue’ with Real Madrid: “It’s quite clear to us”

Before facing Betis on the last date of LaLiga Santander, Carlo Ancelotti expressed his position regarding the Kylian Mbappé case. The renewal of the forward with PSG until mid-2025 was resolved, the coach continued on his own: all the spotlights with Real Madrid vs. Liverpool in the Champions League final this Saturday, May 28.

“It’s pretty clear to us, we have to think about what we have to think about. We have never talked about players from another squad or from another club. We respect their decisions and the clubs, we have to do our job and now it’s quite clear that what we have to think about is preparing well for the final”. he assured the first time he was asked about Mbappé’s decision.

To cut the subject and not change the focus of his appearance before the media, the Italian coach, recent winner of LaLiga Santander, was blunt when Mbappé’s name came to the fore again.

“I fully understand and respect your work”told the journalist who asked if Mbappé had laughed at Real Madrid. “But I have never talked about a player who is not from Real Madrid and I will never talk about players who are not from Real Madrid”he added.

Reflecting on the high price that the market sets for the signing of a differential player, Ancelotti made it clear that without that profile of stars, success can also be achieved.

“The market thing, if you want a player with more quality than another you have to pay, it’s normal. But football is played in all ways and you can also win with players of lesser quality. Quality football allows you to win but there are also factors such as commitment, good atmosphere, physical appearance”, valued.
