FootballMbappe: Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti Reacts to Question About PSG Star
- Kylian Mbappe's club football future has recently dominated the headlines
- The Paris Saint-Germain star was recently left out of their pre-season tour
- Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti was asked about the chance of signing Mbappe
Real Madrid got their 2023/24 football pre-season off to a great start as the Spanish giants recorded an impressive comeback win against Italian titans, AC Milan.
Los Blancos earned a slim 3-2 win over the Rossoneri in Los Angeles. However, instead of being asked for his comments on the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti instead faced questions about Paris Saint-Germain star, Kylian Mbappe.
The Italian veteran was visibly displeased with the continued talk about the French star's rumoured move to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and responded in a curious manner.
Ancelotti responds to Mbappe questions
According to a report by Football Espana, Ancelotti heard clear chants of 'Mbappe' while posing for a photo on the touchline prior to his team’s showing against AC Milan.
It was then certain he would be facing questions about the French forward and his links to Real Madrid.
Asked about his latest Galactico in Jude Bellingham - and the potential signing of Mbappe, Ancelotti was quick to praise the English midfielder as a fantastic and important player.
“[Bellingham] has a lot of intensity and moves very well without the ball. He is different from the other midfielders we have. He looks to find free space, and he adds something else to this squad, that has an extraordinary quality.”
However, the seasoned Italian did not touch on the question about Mbappe, concluding his comment with a smile:
“I think I have answered all the questions.”
Ancelotti, who is currently with Real Madrid for their pre-season tour in the USA, would likely anticipate more questions regarding the PSG wantaway after the French club declared their intention to sell him.
