Ancelotti revealed he would be discussing his plans with PSG's Qatari president Nasser al-Khelaifi.

With approximately 41,000 inhabitants, Sassuolo, based near Ferrari's headquarters of Maranello, will also become the smallest town to have a club in Serie A and will be joined by Hellas Verona after they finished second.
