Premier League side eyeing sensational Ancelotti return amid Real Madrid uncertainty
Chelsea are keeping a close eye on Carlo Ancelotti’s situation at Real Madrid as they prepare for the possibility of making a move for him at the end of the season.
According to reports from Fichajes, the Premier League club sees the Italian manager as a strong candidate to take charge if he becomes available.
Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid remains up in the air. Despite the team being in the race for the La Liga title and still competing in the Champions League, the club’s hierarchy is not entirely convinced by his performance.
Florentino Perez has reportedly set clear expectations—only a major trophy win will guarantee the manager’s continuity beyond this season.
This uncertainty has sparked interest from Chelsea, who are now positioning themselves as a potential destination if he decides to leave.
Chelsea in transition
At Stamford Bridge, doubts persist over current manager Enzo Maresca.
While he has managed to keep the team in contention for a Champions League spot in the Premier League and has guided them to the quarterfinals of the Conference League, there are concerns about his ability to lead the club in the long run.
This has led Chelsea’s board to explore alternative options, with Ancelotti emerging as one of the most appealing choices.
Ready to offer Ancelotti a contract
The London club is reportedly prepared to put forward a lucrative financial package to lure the Italian back. Having previously enjoyed a successful spell at Chelsea, Ancelotti remains a highly regarded figure at the club.
However, the biggest challenge in securing his return lies in his own plans. He has repeatedly indicated that he intends to retire after his second stint at Real Madrid, making a move to Chelsea uncertain.
Despite this, Chelsea believe that an ambitious sporting project combined with an attractive financial proposal could make him reconsider.
For now, everything depends on how the rest of the season unfolds at Real Madrid. If Ancelotti manages to win a major trophy, he could stay, but if not, Chelsea might have a real opportunity to bring him back to London.
