Ancelotti tells PSG he wants Real Madrid move

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director, Leonardo, has confirmed that Carlo Ancelotti has expressed interest in moving to Real Madrid this summer, although he insisted that no decision has been made.

Speculations were rife over the weekend, that the Italian coach had met with club owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Leonardo and intimated them about his desire to replace Chelsea-bound Jose Mourinho, at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“Carlo has asked to go to Madrid but we want him to stay on,” Leonardo told L’Equipe. “No decision has been taken yet, we just listened to Carlo.

“We will look at the situation a little. The priority is still to keep him on. We have never contacted other coaches [while [Ancelotti has been in charge].”

He also told RMC Sport that, “Carlo Ancelotti has a contract and it is binding for both parties.”
