Mbappe informed the French club that he will leave after his contract expires this summer.
The 25-year-old Mbappe is linked to Real Madrid, and multiple reports stated that he will likely head to Santiago Bernabeu.
Despite the loud chatter, the 64-year-old remains focused on their ongoing La Liga campaign.
“I can see and hear, I understand it’s the topic of the day for you, but not for us, for us it’s tomorrow’s game,” Ancelotti said.
“People can talk, I understand it’s the story of the day … I want to finish this season well and win titles.”
“There’s a lot of time left to think about next season.”
Real Madrid remains at the top of the standings with 64 points.
Based on their recent performances, the Los Blancos are locked in for the league trophy.
“Do you think I look affected? No, no,” he said.
Meanwhile, PSG’s head coach also refused to comment about Mbappe’s decision.
“I am going to avoid talking about this subject until the parties involved speak about it,” said the former Barcelona coach.
“Kylian Mbappe has not said anything publicly, and neither has the club. I am the coach and when the other parties have spoken, I’ll give my opinion.”
