The 3 Benches Ancelotti Prioritizes to Keep Coaching Next Season

The Real Madrid coach is studying different options for the next season

Carlo Ancelotti is once again the center of attention in the market, and this time, the epicenter of the rumors is in Saudi Arabia. Al Hilal has presented a tempting offer: a contract worth 150 million euros for three seasons, according to 'Relevo'. This unexpected turn in negotiations with the CBF opens new possibilities for the Italian, whose future at Madrid seems increasingly uncertain.

The agreement with the CBF was almost finalized and the announcement was imminent, but several obstacles disrupted the operation. Carlo Ancelotti informed at the last moment that he couldn't part ways with Real Madrid before the Club World Cup, a crucial condition for Brazil. The refusal of the white club to release him without a financial cost was, according to internal sources, the key factor in this outcome.

Saudi Arabia, Another Option Carlo Ancelotti Considers

Amid this confusion, the Saudi offer presents itself as a quite attractive exit for the next season. Although Al Hilal's interest is not new, it now intensifies with a proposal that significantly multiplies Carlo Ancelotti's current salary. Meanwhile, in Valdebebas, discomfort is growing due to certain recent attitudes of the coach, who seems more focused on his personal plans than on the decisive stretch of the season.

On the other hand, in the event that Carlo Ancelotti doesn't end up signing with Brazil, the CBF would have it practically closed with Jorge Jesus. However, nothing is clear for now, and everyone eagerly awaits the Italian's press conference next Saturday.

Could He Stay at Real Madrid?

Despite the rest of the proposals, Carlo Ancelotti keeps staying at Real Madrid as his number one option. In fact, according to Josep Pedrerol, the coach's chances of staying at the club would increase if he wins the League.

Meanwhile, at Real Madrid, they continue to make it clear that Carlo Ancelotti's era would have expired after a disappointing season. The club would already be considering the arrival of Xabi Alonso, which leaves the coach from Reggiolo in a difficult position to stay.
