Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti will meet with the club’s president as speculation mounts he could depart the club.
PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi said the club had rejected an approach from Real Madrid for Ancelotti’s services on Monday.
The Italian’s contract was automatically extended to June 2014 after securing a UEFA Champions League spot, but Ancelotti will seek assurances on certain issues before committing to the club.
“I have not talked with the club yet,” he told L’Equipe.
“We have a meeting scheduled on Friday, then we’ll see. I want to continue if it’s possible to continue.
“But I want to understand what happened during the season. Some things happened after our (league) defeat against Stade Rennes, then after the defeat at Nice.
“Today it’s 50-50. I have settled in well here and I don’t like to change. I was disappointed when I left Chelsea (in 2011). And if I leave Paris, I’ll be sad.”
Rumours had circulated that PSG owner Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani wanted to sack Ancelotti after a loss to Nice in December that left the club in fourth position.
“Actually, I want to understand whether I am here for a project or just for one result. That’s the question,” the Italian added.
“I want to know what happened this season and what will happen in the future.”
