Real Madrid Transfer News: Carlo Ancelotti Plays Down Ronaldo Move to PSG, Not Worried About Mourinho Links

Paris Saint Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti has thrown cold water over reports of an impending move for Cristiano Ronaldo, while insisting he is not worried about the possibility of Jose Mourinho replacing him next season.

Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy with his current situation at Real and is ready to reject the club's latest contract offer, while looking at the possibility of forcing a move away.

PSG's owners recently admitted they would love to bring both Ronaldo and Mourinho to Paris next summer, leading to suggestions a move was already in the works.

However, Ancelotti is convinced Ronaldo will not be a PSG player anytime soon, saying he has more than enough players in his squad already to deal with.

"Any chance of (Ronaldo) coming here does not exist," Ancelotti told La Stampa. "Money is not sufficient. The deciding factor is the will of the club that he plays for.

"He is a great talent who needs to play regularly. I like players with great quality and I have that.

"What I have read in the newspapers makes no sense. With Lucas Moura we will have 30 players and I do not need any more."

Moura, who was a Manchester United target in the summer, will make his move from Sao Paulo in January, after the two clubs had agreed on a fee before the start of the season.

Ancelotti was also adamant on the fact that he will remain PSG boss come the end of the year, despite reports suggesting Mourinho could be on his way, with the PSG boss moving the other way to Madrid.

"I am very calm," he added. "The person that said that about him and Cristiano Ronaldo is a member of the Al Thani family, not the owner.

"The owner is not thinking like that."
