CARLO ANCELOTTI's Real Madrid exit is coming close to fruition, it's been claimed.
It was reported that the Italian would leave the Bernabeu following Los Blancos' quarter-final exit to earlier this month.
The former AC Milan and Chelsea coach has long been on the radar of international football icons Brazil.
And the Brazilian football federation are confident of landing their man, who they're hoping to agree a deal with in the coming days.
That's according to reporter Farbrizio Romano, who wrote on X: “Brazilian Federation, very confident to get the green light for as new head coach.
“He’d join before the Club World Cup, clear indication from Brazil.
“Federation emissaries remain in Spain to agree deal, waiting for Real Madrid decision/steps.”
Ancelotti broke his silence on rumours he could leave Real last week, insisting he's still in his honeymoon period in the Spanish capital.
He said: “I love being here [at Madrid] and I hope this will last as long as possible.
The honeymoon continues. I’m very happy, contented.
“There is a lot of pressure, true, but that is always the case at this point of the season.
“”I’m happy with the club, they know this has been a tough season. Stress is fuel – it doesn’t bother me, it gives me more energy.”
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
