Ancelotti, who led Real Madrid to a La Liga and Champions League double this season, stated that FIFA has offered approximately €20 million for their participation.
However, he noted that Real Madrid will not be the only team declining FIFA’s invitation.
He said; “FIFA forgets that the teams will not participate in the new Club World Cup.
“A single Real Madrid match is worth €20million and FIFA wants to give us that amount for the entire tournament.
“We will decline the invitation,”.
