It is not possible because he has a contract for one year more, so that is our decision."Speaking to the Qatari-owned television channel Beinsport, he added: "It is his problem; it is not our problem. We have offered him another year more on his contract as well as the one he has."When you have a contract, everyone is normally obliged to honour that."Jose Mourinho is still the Real Madrid manager but has been linked with a return to Chelsea this summer.Ancelotti added: "There are possibilities. Real Madrid is one. But I have a contract here.
