Carlo Ancelotti quells Angel di Maria exit talk

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has denied that Angel di Maria could leave the club.

The Argentine international was heavily linked with a move away from the Bernabeu last summer following the arrival of Gareth Bale.

However, the former Benfica midfielder thrived in a deeper position for Los Blancos last season and contributed 17 assists in the league.

It had been reported that Di Maria was available for £40.5m this summer, but Ancelotti has quelled such talk.

"I have no doubt that he'll stay," Ancelotti told Marca.

Di Maria is currently on international duty ahead of the World Cup.
