Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said that the team now “does not think of anyone else”, in response to a journalist’s question regarding the possibility of including Frenchman Kilian Mbappe once more in the ranks of “Merenghi”. In the future.
Mbappe renewed his contract with Saint-Germain for a period of 3 seasons, during the last summer transfer market, but recent press reports stated that the player’s contract with the Parisian club extends only for two years, that is, until the summer of 2024, and that the third year is for Kilian to choose either to stay or leave.
Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media regarding another opportunity to include Mbappe in the team, saying: “I give in, I give in to this question, we are happy with our strikers, Karim Benzema excites us a lot, but when the young players shine, it is even more exciting.”
Ancelotti added during the press conference for the match between Real Madrid and Leipzig: “What Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are doing is very exciting, we are not thinking regarding anyone else now, there is no doubt regarding that, we are focused and the players are as well.”
Regarding Vinicius Junior’s recent performance with “Al-Maringhi”, Carlo Ancelotti said: “He is a great player who shows all his talent, that’s all, he has extraordinary quality, and it is normal for the opponent to try to stop him.”
Real Madrid will host Leipzig, Germany, at the “Santiago Bernabeu”, on Wednesday evening, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League 2023/2022.
