Madrid boss Ancelotti “100%” rules out signing Kylian Mbappe
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out signing striker Kylian Mbappe from Paris St-Germain this summer.
The 24-year-old Mbappe has so far refused to sign a contract extension with PSG, prompting speculation he could join the La Liga side.
It is believed PSG were open to selling the France captain rather than running the risk of losing him for free when his deal expires next year.
When asked about a deal for Mbappe, Ancelotti said “No, I rule it out 100%.”
He added: “I think our squad is closed and our players are thinking about our season.”
Mbappe spent a spell training away from the PSG first team this month amid his contract stand-off, but he has since returned following what the club described as “very constructive and positive talks”.
