The former AC Milan manager reflected on PSG’s activities in the market that saw them linked with Pato and Kaka.
The January transfer window saw the cash-rich club linked with moves for the best players on the planet. The Parisians brought in Carlo Ancelotti to the dressing room, reuniting him with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 in their UEFA Champions League winning partnership.
Ancelotti reflected his views on their indulgence in the market and explained that they have not lost sight of their targets.
The experienced Italian tactician was linked to a reunion with the Brazilian duo of Alexander Pato and Kaka; however, their respective moves failed to materialize.
Kaka has been unfortunate at the Santiago Bernabeu and he was the bookmaker’s favourite to link with his former manager, at PSG.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager stated that they are interested in the 2007 Ballon d’Or winner despite the fact they have ample resources in that department.
However, he remarked that they can do nothing until or unless Real Madrid are willing to part company with the player. Ancelotti added that when Los Blancos are prepared to sell the Brazilian midfielder, they will do what they can to add a player of his calibre.
“If Real Madrid decide to sell him [Kaka], we will give it a try and see what's possible. We always have room for someone like him. He's not a priority for us though as we already have http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345 in his position."
Kaka’s compatriot, Alexander Pato, was on the brink of joining his former manager in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, after a torrid start to the season with AC Milan. Ancelotti explained that they talked to the Italian giants about Pato’s availability and that was the end of their negotiations.
"I have not spoken with Pato. Milan did not want to sell and that was the end of it. A pre-agreement for June? There is no agreement," Ancelotti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Our top priority is a forward, but Pato is not the only candidate. He is an attacker of the highest calibre, but we're also keeping tabs on [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Internacional-c39573 star] Damiao."
With the transfer window now out of sight, Ancelotti returns his attention to Ligue 1 as he leads PSG on their title challenge. However, the chapter of Kaka signing for PSG is still very much open.
