The next turn in the transfer saga around real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and the Brazilian football association. According to the “Marca”, the Italian and the royal have agreed to dissolve the contract that will actually expire in 2026 in the coming week after the Clásico against FC Barcelona (Sunday, 4:15 p.m.). The game should not win, should not be a preliminary decision in the master question. For Ancelotti, the way would then be clear to take over the Seleção. This should be the case in the international matches taking place in June.
In the past few days, there had been several turns in terms of information about Ancelotti’s possible switch to the Brazilian bank. It was first said that the change is possible, the 65-year-old is said to have canceled to check an offer from Saudi Arabia. In other media it was said that Brazil had a backlog because Real Ancelotti did not want to release before the club World Cup taking place in June. Then the “Marca” also reported that his cancellation had no final character.
Saudi Arabia instead of Brazil? Million offer for Ancelotti
A crucial reason for the rumored temporary cancellation can be checked by the examination of a highly licensed offer from Saudi Arabia. Accordingly, five-time Champions League winners had an offer over an annual salary of 50 million euros net per season, one club was not mentioned. In the past, the Italian had shown that an engagement in the desert was quite conceivable for him. In addition, he was also associated with a return to Serie A, where his ex-clubs AS Rome and AC Milan are looking for new trainers. At the Giallorossi, Stefano Pioli is considered a candidate who is currently working on Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr association in Saudi Arabia.
Ancelotti’s contract in Madrid is dated until 2026. According to reports, a successor solution is working intensively, the candidate of the desired candidate has long been Bayer Leverkusens Xabi Alonso. In the interior, real director Santiago Solari, who was already a coach for 28 games in 2018/19, is to take over from Ancelotti. The parties are aiming for a public separation, the financial conditions should now be clarified.
According to Rüdiger and Mendy: Alaba is also missing injured again
Meanwhile, the royal people have to accept a further injury -related failure. After Antonio Rüdiger (Meniscus was already operated on on Tuesday) and Ferland Mendy (tendon tear) had to deregister at the beginning of the week, ex-Munich David Alaba (32) also suffered a new injury to the knee.
