Ancelotti's contract runs until June 2026, but rumours around his future have intensified after Los Blancos' 5-1 aggregate defeat to Arsenal in the quarter finals of the Champions League. The CBF is reported to be monitoring Saturday's Copa Del Rey final closely, as defeat to Barcelona could lead to Ancelotti's immediate dismissal or confirm the Italian's departure in the summer.

An agent and two Brazilian intermediaries are in the Spanish capital, and have held talks with Ancelotti's son Davide about the job. The CBF have denied the presence of their representatives in Europe.
