Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed the ongoing speculation surrounding Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé. When questioned about the potential interest in Mbappé, Ancelotti made it clear that his team’s attention remains squarely on their upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano.
“I see what you say, I read what you write and I can understand it’s a big topic of the day for you… but not for us,” Ancelotti stated, emphasizing that the rumors do not distract his squad. “Our focus is on Rayo Vallecano.”
This statement comes amidst widespread media speculation linking Mbappé with a move to Real Madrid. However, Ancelotti’s remarks suggest that, at least for now, Real Madrid’s priorities lie elsewhere, specifically on their immediate fixtures in the league.
Ancelotti, who has a distinguished managerial career, including multiple stints at some of Europe’s top clubs, is known for his tactical acumen and ability to manage star-studded lineups. His current tenure at Real Madrid has been marked by a focus on team cohesion and performance, as evidenced by his recent comments.
As the speculation around Mbappé continues, Ancelotti’s stance serves as a reminder of the importance of concentrating on the present challenges, with Real Madrid set to face Rayo Vallecano in what promises to be a crucial fixture for the club.
