Kylian Mbappe has been linked with a move away from Le Parc des Princes this summer because the 2018 World Cup winner has made it clear that he wants to play for a competitive club. Real Madrid has long been linked with the player and are seen as frontrunners for the French forward. Madrid's returning coach Carlo Ancelotti has now come out and said that he does not care if the club signs Mbappe.
I don't know if he will arrive,” he said at a press conference when asked about his side’s interest in Mbappe. "I don't care what will happen. I have a very good and very strong squad. They give me a lot of happiness. I am focused on that. Let's wait these 10 days and now I am focused on the team that I have.”
Carlo then said that the squad he has is very good and can compete for all trophies.
"This squad, as it is, can compete for any trophy. We have very big stars here. I'm not going to name all of them, but we have a lot of top players. This squad is full of stars. We have to work together. The star, if he is able to compete for the others, wins titles."
