There are two versions regarding the future of Carlo Ancelotti. One says: the Italian will take over Brazil. That’s the first and more widely circulated one. The other: no deal with the five-time world champions, because an offer worth 50,000,000 euros awaits him in Saudi Arabia. One thing is certain – there is no scenario in which he remains at Real Madrid. The Royal Club is already searching for a replacement and preparing a farewell for Carlo Ancelotti. At the end of the season – they will part ways. Even though his contract runs until 2026. An agreement has been reached, according to well-informed journalist Mario Cortegana from The Athletic. Ancelotti and Real Madrid have a verbal agreement.U-turn! Ancelotti not coming to BrazilEverything that needed to be agreed upon – has been agreed. Don Carlo and Florentino Pérez. A handshake and thanks for everything. It will soon be made official. It’s just a matter of timing. Nothing will be announced in the coming days – instead, the club will wait for the right moment. According to Cortegana, that moment is after El Clasico. Only then will Real Madrid begin preparing a proper send-off worthy of the great “Carletto.” The final details being discussed concern the remaining year on his contract. At the end of April, reports surfaced that Florentino Perez will act generously and pay Ancelotti’s salary for next season, even though he won’t be coaching Real Madrid, out of great respect for what he’s done for the club. And he’s done a lot. Fifteen trophies – maybe even sixteen. He will receive that salary regardless of whether or not he becomes Brazil’s head coach.🚨 Florentino Perez wants the entire club to be focused on the league title, and that is why he asked Brazil to halt all negotiations with Carlo Ancelotti until May 25th. If they did not want to wait, he told them to find a new candidate. @relevo pic.twitter.com/kEKteyG4qQ— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) May 6, 2025 The Athletic was the first to report that Ancelotti would leave Los Blancos at the end of the season and take over Brazil. It was expected he would sign with the Brazilian Football Federation after meeting with officials on April 28 in London, but there was a delay. That’s when the story of a Saudi move for a massive contract came to the forefront. However, reportedly, that’s not the case. The Athletic still sticks to the version that Carletto will coach Brazil. Everything was postponed because he wanted to finalize things with Real Madrid first. Until he did, he wasn’t willing to sign anything. He definitely won’t be leading the team at the Club World Cup. There are three temporary options to take charge until Xabi Alonso takes over: Santiago Solari, Alvaro Arbeloa, and Raul Gonzalez. The club situation is unfolding, and the upcoming El Clasico will be an extremely emotional one for Carlo Ancelotti — and for everyone who holds Real Madrid close to their heart. An era is coming to an end. Don Carlo is counting down his final weeks at the Santiago Bernabeu.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI FINALTuesday 22:00: (2.75) Inter (3.80) Barcelona (2.50)Wednesday22:00: (2.15) PSG (3.60) Arsenal (3.60)***odds are subject to change***
