Carlo Ancelotti hints Real Madrid don’t need Kylian Mbappe as his side already have ‘the best six players in the world’

Champions League

Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid

After seeing his side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-girona-jude-bellingham-vinicius-jr/bltcd6d9ff8d03c8685" target="_blank">beat second-placed Girona 4-0 on Saturday</a>, Ancelotti was quizzed on the prospect of Mbappe moving to the Bernabeu at the end of the season in a blockbuster free transfer. Real have consistently been linked with the World Cup winner and reports have previously suggested that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/psg-chief-nasser-al-khelaifi-kylian-mbappe-real-madrid-transfer/blta52f5483c80affcb" target="_blank">Mbappe has already decided to make the move to Spain.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ancelotti said in a press conference: "You keep asking about a player who plays for another team."He added: "We already have the best players in the world here. In order: Vini Jr first, Bellingham second, Rodrygo third. Then Kroos, Valverde, Camavinga…"

WHAT ANCELOTTI SAID

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ligue-1-top-scorers-2023-24/bltf8c15289e6be4952" target="_blank">Mbappe has been in genuinely glorious</a> form this season and has scored 30 goals and provided seven assists in 29 games in all competitions. Such numbers would not look out of place at the Bernabeu.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The saga is not going away any time soon. Mbappe will almost certainly continue to dominate the back-page headlines both in Spain and in France; it remains to be seen when it will come to a head.
