Ancelotti is said to have already told senior figures in the dressing room of his decision to depart.
The 65-year-old won the Champions League last season but saw his side crash out to Arsenal earlier this month.
And now he is preparing to go into international management for the first time.
Ancelotti has reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Brazil to become head coach for the 2026 World Cup.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims the deal will be "valid from June, NOT after the Club World Cup".
It leads the way for Madrid and Ancelotti to "part ways nicely" after four years.
Brazil is the most successful nation ever to play in the World Cup.
But they have been knocked out in the quarter-final stage in four of the last five tournaments.

Ancelotti has enjoyed two spells in the Spanish capital, originally taking charge in 2013.

Over the course of his illustrious career, he's won five Champions League trophies.
At the Bernabeu, he has lifted three LaLiga titles and two Copa del Reys, along with Big Ears three times.
La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed earlier this month AC Milan had contacted the Italian over a return to the San Siro.
Ancelotti won the Serie A and Champions League titles twice with the Rossoneri as manager between 2001 and 2009.
