In case you’ve missed it, today is Carlo Ancelotti day at Sport Witness, with the Everton manager seemingly closing in on a return to Real Madrid.
After reports over the weekend that Real Madrid we keen on Ancelotti returning, MARCA popped up today and claimed that a deal could be done today.
This was followed up by Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio who backed up the claims from Spain and insisted things were progressing quickly.
It’s a situation that’s likely to develop over the next few hours, with Madrid seemingly pushing hard but no word on Everton’s stance at this moment in time.
Whether it all comes to fruition remains to be seen, but in the meantime, Calciomercato.it have provided a new, different revelation.
According to their information, the Everton boss recently turned down an approach from Inter Milan to replace Antonio Conte.
They report that the Italian was ‘in the sights of Inter’, who tried to convince him to take over from Conte once his departure was confirmed.
He ‘declined the offer’ and decided to stay in the Premier League with Everton, but the ‘appeal’ of Real Madrid and the special relationship he has with the club could ‘overturn’ the situation.
It’s claimed the Italian ‘would not be able to say no’ to Los Blancos, who are seemingly pushing for a return and able to convince him in a way Inter weren’t.
