Paris Saint-Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti has told an Italian newspaper that there is "no chance" Cristiano Ronaldo will join the club (via ESPN FC).

Ronaldo, 27, earlier this season said he was "sad" for professional reasons. Recent reports have indicated he is unhappy at Real Madrid as Jose Mourinho's men struggle in La Liga.

Ancelotti ruled out a move for Ronaldo, however, telling La Stampa: “There is no chance he will come here. Money is not enough to tempt him. The determining factor is the will of the club he plays for.”
