Carlo Ancelotti drawn on Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid after win over Granada | OneFootball

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti was this evening drawn on the imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappé at the club.

The name of frontman Mbappé has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines in Spain’s capital in force over the course of the last 24 hours.

This comes after the Frenchman’s Real switch took a significant step forward.

Taking to his social media platforms, Mbappé unveiled a lengthy video message, at last making official his summer departure from Paris Saint-Germain.

After months of negotiations between the parties, the 25-year-old’s unveiling as the latest addition to the aforementioned Ancelotti’s Real Madrid squad is in turn just an announcement away.

Speaking to the media on the back of his side’s La Liga downing of Granada on Saturday night, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of the impending arrival in his ranks was put to Ancelotti himself.

Los Blancos’ headmaster, however, remained typically professional in his response, assuring that his focus is elsewhere at this moment in time, ahead of the upcoming Champions League final:

“Kylian Mbappé? I’m not thinking about that topic at the moment. We have more important things to focus on right now.”
