Carlo Ancelotti has kept his cards close to his chest over Real Madrid's pursuit of Kylian Mbappe and whether the French forward will be plying his trade at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.
Last summer saw Los Blancos submit a number of mega-money bids to try and pry Mbappe away from Paris Saint-Germain, who subsequently refused to budge despite the eye-watering amount of money on offer from the Spaniards. The Parisians do not boast such power when the next transfer window rolls around.
This is due to the fact that Mbappe's current deal with the French giants expires at the end of this season, thus presenting the World Cup winner with the chance to sign for whoever he wishes without intervention from the PSG hierarchy. Real Madrid are thought to be his ideal destination, having made little secret of his admiration for the 13-time Champions League winners.
