Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has refused to answer questions about the potential signing of Kylian Mbappe and insisted that he already has the best players in the world at his disposal.

Paris Saint-Germain star Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move to Real, who could give the Frenchman a signing bonus of £85million and a 60/40 split of image rights.

Ancelotti was asked about Mbappe in his post-match press conference following Real Madrid’s 4-0 win over Girona.

However, Ancelotti claimed that he can already call upon the best player in the world in Vinicius Jr, closely followed by Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Toni Kroos, Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga.

Ancelotti said: ‘You keep asking me about a player who plays for another team’.

‘We already have the best players in the world here’.

‘In order: Vini Jr first, Bellingham second, Rodrygo third. Then Kroos, Valverde, Camavinga…’.

Mbappe has scored 242 goals in 289 games for PSG but there have been suggestions that he wants a fresh challenge at Real.

As Ancelotti alludes to, Real can already call upon an array of stars, including Vinicius Jr, who has scored seven goals and provided four assists in 15 LaLiga appearances so far this season.

Real are five points clear of Girona at the top of LaLiga and will be confident of winning the title.

Mbappe has frequently been linked with Real in recent years but PSG are eager to keep him and will reportedly offer the forward a new two-year contract.
