Ronaldo has been widely linked to a number of top clubs including the likes of PSG and Manchester United amidst widespread reports of the Portuguese international being far from happy with staying at the Bernabeu.
It was previously speculated that the 27-year-old had received a lucrative offer from cash-rich PSG to join them at the end of the season, but Ancelotti has refuted such rumours, claiming his side had sufficient top players within their ranks to do without the 2008 FIFA World Player of the Year.
“There is no chance he [Ronaldo] will come here,” Ancelotti told La Stampa.
“Money is not enough to tempt him, the determining factor is the will of the club he plays for.
“He is a great talent who needs to play well all the time.
I like coaching great players like him, and I have several in my squad.
“What I’ve read in the newspapers [about Cristiano joining PSG] makes no sense.
“We have 30 players now that Lucas Moura has joined and I don’t need anymore.”
Ancelotti also went on to state that he was not bothered with speculation linking under-fire Real manager Jose Mourinho to his job.
“I am very relaxed about it,” Ancelotti said of the rumours.
“The person who said the club are after Mourinho and Cristiano is a member of the Al-Thani family but he is not the owner, and I know the owner is not thinking about that.”
Ronaldo has been in sterling form for Los Blancos ever since he joined them in 2009, scoring an amazing 169 goals in 170 games so far.
