Mbappé will not be coming to Real in the summer. I 100% reject the arrival of another reinforcement, the roster is closed, says Ancelotti

Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé? Probably not this summer. Carlo Ancelotti has rejected the arrival of new reinforcements in the current transfer window, so the Frenchman is likely to stay at PSG.

The possible arrival of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid has been dragging on for three years. This summer, everything seemed to be finally on track. In fact, the player sent a letter to the management that he will not extend his contract expiring next summer.

In response, PSG gave him an ultimatum that he would either extend his contract or transfer. He was even dropped from the squad, didn’t go on tour and missed the first league game. But after the draw, the management took back the decision, realised they needed Mbappé and the player joined the team.

It seemed that Real Madrid, who in addition do not have a typical nine after Karim Benzema’s departure, would finally buy Mbappé. But as it seems, the big transfer will not take place.

“I can 100% rule out the possibility of any more signings in the summer. Our squad is closed,” said Carlo Ancelotti at the press conference before the match against Celta Vigo.

So Mbappé is unlikely to arrive in the summer, although this may just be a strategy by Ancelotti to get PSG to lower the price. After all, the Parisian big club is reportedly demanding €250 million for its star, which Real Madrid is not willing to pay when it can have the player for free next year.

So everything currently looks like Mbappé’s arrival next summer, but it is not impossible that Real will try to get the Frenchman with some smaller offer towards the end of the transfer window.

However, another signing, Kepa Arrizabalaga, will make his debut on Friday. Ancelotti announced at a press conference that the Spanish goalkeeper will catch the duel against Celta.
