Asked by Ancelotti, but Real Madrid Rejects Him: Florentino Closes Door on His Face

Real Madrid's manager has been frustrated by his plans to strengthen his defensive line.

Ancelotti believes that a right-back is necessary for next season. There are several names on the table but the one he likes above all the rest is Andrea Cambiaso from Juventus. However, the Real Madrid coach already knows that it will be impossible: It's been confirmed that the player has no intention of leaving Italy,

In recent statements to Corriere, Andrea Cambiaso has completely ruled out a possible move to Real Madrid. He began by saying: "Just the fact of having been linked with a team like Real Madrid feels like something bigger than me."

"I'm proud of that, it's gratifying and stimulating to know that someone appreciates you, but I haven't received any offers," continued Andrea Cambiaso. However, the Italian added: "In any case, Juventus is my Real Madrid ."

There's no option for him to leave Juventus. Andrea Cambiaso was so blunt with his words: "I renewed until 2029 and I want to stay as long as possible."

Florentino Closes the Doors to Andrea Cambiaso

If there were even the slightest chance of his playing for Real Madrid, now the doors are closed to Andrea Cambiaso. Florentino is clear about this and doesn't intend to accept any kind of move now, period.

Florentino didn't want to waste time with Carvajal's injury and preferred to move quickly. A top-level full-back was needed on the right flank for the rest of the season. The reality is, however, that one of the best on the planet will arrive.

Trent Alexander Arnold is said to be ready to become a new Real Madrid player. He was the club's first choice after learning of Florentino's interest, who has had to dig deep into his pocket. The Englishman will sign a contract for the next five seasons, easily fitting into the club's salary scale.

In this sense, Arnold has taken the position away from Andrea Cambiaso, who's thrown away the possibility of wearing the Real Madrid jersey. Florentino is happy: A better and cheaper player will arrive.

The biggest loser in all this is Ancelotti, who was eager to have his compatriot Andrea Cambiaso at Real Madrid. He will have to wait and see...
