Carlo Ancelotti wants to begin his rebuild of Real Madrid by snaring Dominic Calvert-Lewin from former side Everton in a £50million deal.
The Italian spent little over a year at Goodison Park, succeeding Marco Silva in December 2019, signing a four-and-a-half year deal worth a reported £1million a week.

However, Ancelotti made the incredible decision to return to Real Madrid and stun Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri at the end of the Premier League season.
In what could be incredible insult to injury, the legendary manager is now reportedly keen on a reunion with 21-goal striker Calvert-Lewin after their incredible chemistry together.
Ancelotti once described the England international as the ‘complete striker’, helping the Sheffield-native earn a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the European Championship finals this summer.
According to The Sun, Moshiri may feel under pressure to accept a £50m offer for the 24-year-old after losing £240m over the past two years.

With potential Financial Fair Play restrictions looming for the Premier League side due to the impact of COVID-19,
Ancelotti is reported to have walked out on the club after just 17 months due to the limited options in the transfer market.
However, as well as Calvert-Lewin, the former AC Milan boss is reportedly targeting another former club in Chelsea with Timo Werner reportedly on his wish list.
Yet it is understood Thomas Tuchel wants to keep his compatriot at Stamford Bridge as he hopes to defend the Champions League trophy he delivered to west London in May.
