Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is staying tightlipped on talks for PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Perez wants Ancelotti to succeed the departed Jose Mourinho, but the Italian is struggling to get a release from his PSG deal.

"We have not spoken to anyone from PSG so I cannot speak about Ancelotti out of respect. I do not know what Ancelotti has spoken about with his club. He is one candidate for the bench if he is free but we have more.
