Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti remains confident of a new deal being struck with Xabi Alonso.

Xabi is off contract in June.

"I think that we will find a solution and reach an agreement between club and player," Ancelotti said.

"There is nothing new regarding that. No players are leaving and we're not going to sign anyone. The window is closed for us."
