Sources from Madrid said that President Florentino Perez is considering all options to minimize financial losses in firing coach Ancelotti.

Coach Ancelotti still has a contract with Real Madrid until next summer (2026), and is receiving a salary of 11 million euros/year.

The Italian captain made it clear that he will never resign and will only leave if Real Madrid wants him to.

But coach Ancelotti is also said to have told President Perez that if Real Madrid decides to fire him, they will have to pay the full amount in the remaining year of the contract - 11 million euros.

Last season, this veteran coach made fans ecstatic when he brought the Bernabeu trophy home with the Champions League and La Liga titles.

However, in this year's campaign, despite adding 'blockbuster' Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid's performance was inconsistent and they did not achieve the desired results. They were eliminated by Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and lost to Barca in both the Spanish Super Cup and the King's Cup.

In La Liga, the Vultures are also behind Barca, with 4 points less, with 4 more rounds to go. The battle for the throne between them will be decided in the El Clasico this weekend - at Barca's home ground at 9:15 p.m. on May 11. Coach Ancelotti's future will also be decided after this match.

There are opinions that Ancelotti's cycle at Real Madrid has come to an end and the club should have a new 'hot seat'. But many fans still support this veteran strategist.

President Perez was said to be targeting Xabi Alonso to replace Ancelotti, but according to the latest news, he has changed his mind and turned to Jurgen Klopp.
