Coach Ancelotti does not want to compensate Real Madrid for his contract

According to the Spanish newspaper Marca : "Coach Ancelotti has in fact reached all agreements to lead the Brazilian team to the 2026 and 2030 World Cups. But he told the football agency that he is not in a hurry to sign the contracts because he cannot lead the team starting from June 1 (only from August), because he needs to ask Real Madrid because he still has a contract until June 2026. If he leaves, he will have to compensate for the remaining contract."

"Coach Ancelotti and Real Madrid both understand that their relationship will end after the current season. He also knows that the club has contacted coach Xabi Alonso to replace him. However, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants this farewell to take place in a friendly and honorable manner," Marca added.

Accordingly, Mr. Florentino Perez suggested that coach Ancelotti must still focus on Real Madrid's remaining goal this season, which is the La Liga championship. Success in this tournament will decide the future of the Italian strategist, including his departure, possibly being released from the remaining contract as a reward for helping Real Madrid succeed in recent seasons, according to Marca .

There are rumors that CBF withdrew from negotiations after coach Ancelotti "turned the car". However, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, a transfer news expert: "CBF is still waiting for coach Ancelotti and Real Madrid to arrange the departure process. Maybe, everything will be clearer after the La Liga season ends (May 25).

The CBF will wait until then before deciding whether to cancel the deal with Ancelotti and negotiate with other candidates, including Jorge Jesus, who has just left Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

Spanish newspaper, as El Chiringuito channel confirmed: "CBF still has great hopes for coach Ancelotti. They hope to sign an official contract with this coach as soon as La Liga ends. The success or failure of the rest of the season is only a part of ending Ancelotti's reign at Real Madrid in the most peaceful way. Remember, this Italian strategist is the most successful coach in the history of the Bernabeu team".

Real Madrid will return to La Liga action against Celta Vigo at 7pm on May 4. They will then have a decisive match against Barcelona at 9:15pm on May 11. These are key matches for Real Madrid's remaining hopes of winning La Liga, as they are 4 points behind Barcelona (72 vs 76 after 33 rounds).
