Transfer: I Told Mbappe Two Things After Real Madrid Move – Ancelotti Says

Carlo Ancelotti, the Real Madrid manager, has revealed his first conversation with Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe was officially confirmed as their new player by the LaLiga giants last month.

The 25-year-old joins as a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Ancelotti has now said he told the France captain two things.

“Two things: First, I gave him a warm welcome, because the reception from Real Madrid and the fans was exceptional,” he said.

“Second, I told him to rest, to go on vacation because it’s a very long season for players.”
