Real Madrid gave Carlo Ancelotti permission to discuss Brazil job with CBF � report

Carlo Ancelotti�s future at Real Madrid has been a hot topic over the last few months. Despite having won five trophies so far over the last two seasons, he could be on his way out in the summer.

The CBF have earmarked Ancelotti as their top target for the head coach position of the Brazil national team, which was made vacant in December after the 2022 World Cup.

In recent weeks, Ancelotti has reaffirmed his commitment to Real Madrid in public, and he has done it in a private scene too. According to UOL, Real Madrid allowed the Italian to speak to the CBF in regards to the Brazil job, but he left the matter to his representatives, as he wanted to keep his full focus on Los Blancos.

Ancelotti�s contract at Real Madrid expires at the end of next season, and it appears that he wants to remain at the club until this date at the earliest, much to the disappointment of Brazil fans across the world.

Lionel Messi is at the top of the agenda for Barcelona this summer, but it appears the salary limit will have to take priority for now.

Barcelona have publicly stated they would like to bring Lionel Messi, back and with the Argentine unlikely to remain at Paris Saint-Germain over the summer, that looks a little bit more possible this season.

However the biggest issue is currently hteir wage bill, which vastly exceeds their salary limit. The Blaugrana are in need of making up a �250m gap.

It has been reported that Barcelona are in discussions with La Liga on how to bring back Messi under their salary limit, but Diario AS say they have been inforrmed by a La Liga source that Messi�s name has not yet been brought up. So far their talks have been exclusively to do with the balancing that salary limit.

Reading between the lines, the desire to facilitate a Messi return could well present amongst all parties. They will be subject to that limit though, and if the numbers do not add up, then they will be unable to make it work
