Fabio Capello has backed Carlo Ancellotti to get the best out of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid despite the amount of superstars already in the squad.
Mbappe To Real Madrid
The Real Madrid – Kylian Mbappe saga looks to be finally coming to an end after transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Frenchman will leave PSG on a free in the summer, with Los Blancos and Ancelotti already lining up a move.
In a series of tweets yesterday, Romano announced that it was “over” between Mbappe and PSG before saying: “Real Madrid fixed salary proposal for Kylian Mbappé is way lower than the one made in summer 2022 — and also lower than current salary.
“Real want Mbappé to join the club at their conditions after spending years on this saga.
“Contract proposal, already in Kylian’s hands.”

Capello On Ancelotti And Mbappe
Former Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello believes that current Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti has all the tools to get the best out of Kylian Mbappe.
Ancelotti has managed stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema during his time in Madrid and has had unbridled success, winning the Champions League twice during his tenure.
Speaking to Gazetta about Mbappe’s potential move to the Spanish capital, Capello said: “It’s an excellent choice from Real Madrid and Mbappé. Kylian will join a top team.”
Asked how Ancelotti will go about handling a squad full of stars, Capello said: “With his personality. The players immediately judge the coach. They immediately understand whether you have the qualities to lead a group. A coach is like a conductor.
“Carlo is even more, he’s a professor.
“He has intelligence and charisma and knows how to do it. More importantly, he knows how to line up the team in the best way and he makes them feel important.”
Continuing, Capello spoke about his experience of managing Real Madrid’s famed Galacticos, saying “I coached half of Galacticos because Zidane wasn’t there, but Real are not making many errors with transfers right now. They have an exceptional desire to win and incredible quality.
However, the former England boss went on to explain how a talismanic individual can sometimes adversely impact the team, saying: “We had the best player who, however, affected the group. Ronaldo, the Brazilian, not Cristiano.
“In fact, when we decided to sell him in the middle of the season, there was a change and we won La Liga.”
