Real Madrid have been warned off trying to sign Frank Lampard by Carlo Ancelotti, according to reports in today's papers.
The Chelsea star is known to be a favourite of former Blues boss Jose Mourinho who is widely expected to take over as Real boss this summer.
Mourinho is rumoured to have told Real president Florentino Perez to bring Lampard to the Bernabeu ready for next season.
But Stamford Bridge boss Ancelotti has laughed off the rumours. He said: "Lampard to Real Madrid? This is a joke because Lampard will stay here.
"When I started last season there was a problem with John Terry and Manchester City.
"Every time I said 'no, John Terry will stay here because he is important'.
"I don't want to do the same with Frank Lampard. He will stay here.
"There is no danger of Frank going because I know how he feels about this club, with these players, how important he is for the supporters."
