MADRID (AP) — Carlo Ancelotti says Real Madrid is looking ahead to another European Cup, he doesn’t have time for the option of coaching Kylian Mbappe next season.

At least not yet.

In his first press conference since Mbappe announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain on Friday, Ancelotti faced the inevitable question of whether he could confirm his fate in Madrid.

Ancelotti said what he needs him and his team to think about is the Champions League final on June 1 against Borussia Dortmund.

“(Mbappe’s future) is not something I’m thinking about right now,” Ancelotti said Saturday after Madrid’s Spanish league win over Granada. “Until June 1, we know exactly what we want to do. “

Mbappe has announced that his last home game for PSG will be on Sunday in Toulouse.

PSG coach Luis Enrique said on Saturday that his star striker “hasn’t said yet where he’s going, but we all think it’s clear. “

Enrique wished him luck, in any case.

“I perceive and perceive his decision,” said the Spanish coach. “It’s been seven years. He’s a club legend. He gave everything to the club, and the club gave him everything. I wish him all the best for the future. “

Madrid have been linked with the French striker for a long time. PSG rejected a €180 million bid from Madrid for Mbappe in 2021. Earlier this year, the player announced to PSG that he would be leaving at the end of the season.
