'Do I look worried?' - Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti gives blunt response to Kylian Mbappe rumours as striker informs PSG he will leave

Mbappe has reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-bombshell-psg-superstar-tells-parisians-he-will-leave-club-this-summer-amid-real-madrid-links/bltd128a36e015578c7https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-bombshell-psg-superstar-tells-parisians-he-will-leave-club-this-summer-amid-real-madrid-links/bltd128a36e015578c7" target="_blank">informed Paris Saint-Germain of his intention to depart the club,</a> once he hits free agency in the summer. Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of the 2018 World Cup winner and after being snubbed on two occasions in the past, it seems that they would finally achieve their target.

WHAT HAPPENED?

However, Ancelotti remains unfazed about the growing speculations and told reporters: "I see and hear everything but nothing else. I understand that it’s the topic of the day for you but not for us. We have prepared for tomorrow’s game and that’s what we have talked about, not about anything else. I’d like to work on this season, there’s a long time to go before next season."

WHAT CARLO ANCELOTTI SAID

However, Ancelotti asserted that the ongoing speculations won't be a distraction for the squad as they continue to fight for silverware on multiple fronts."If I’m worried about Mbappe, do you see me worried?" he asked. "I think it’s going to be the same for the next few press conferences, I’m not worried."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ancelotti currently has Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz at his disposal in attack, with Jude Bellingham firing on all cylinders in midfield in an extraordinary debut campaign in Madrid’s colours. When asked if the inclusion of Mbappe would disrupt the equilibrium of the squad he explained: "Yes, I agree that good players can play together, but the important thing is to keep the balance. The most important thing is quality and balance. If you combine those two aspects well, it’s good."Real Madrid will be in action against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday in a La Liga encounter.
