Real Madrid to Offer new Contract to Carlo Ancelotti Amid Brazil Agreement

Real Madrid are ready to offer Carlo Ancelotti a new contract to extend his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu, despite an initial agreement being in place to take charge of Brazil at the end of the season.

Ancelotti has less than a year left on his current deal and sources have confirmed a preliminary agreement is in place for him to take charge of the Selecao once he leaves the Spanish capital.

Though a deal with Brazil is all but in place, Madrid themselves have not ruled out the possibility of Ancelotti staying at the club and signing a new contract.

Madrid’s hierarchy have been considering their options and have explored alternatives to Ancelotti in the event that he does leave. These have included former playing legends – current Castilla boss Raul and Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso – while Brighton & Hove Albion’s Roberto De Zerbi has also been checked on.
