Managerial merry-go-round: Carlo Ancelotti is wanted by Real Madrid to replace Jose Mourinho
Back in Blue? Mourinho has been strongly linked with a return to Chelsea next season
PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi told L'Equipe: 'A few days ago, the general manager of Real Madrid (Jose Angel Sanchez) contacted me to talk to (Ancelotti).
'Very quickly, I told them: 'If you want to have Carlo, you need to know that he has a year left on his contract, so please respect the contract.
'We respect all clubs, we expect the same in return. Today we do not have the same stature as Real Madrid, but we do deserve the same respect'.
'He apologised and told me he had thought Ancelotti's contract was expiring but I told him that was wrong and that Carlo has another year with us. He told me they would take that into account.'
He added: 'We want to keep Carlo. Everyone loves it here, the players, the fans, myself, I love it.
'I have supported him since the day he arrived and I will support him until his last day here. I am very optimistic (he will stay).'
Although the move for Ancelotti, who has brought PSG their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years, was rebuffed, it shows Madrid's intent to replace Mourinho.
Ancelotti took charge of PSG in December 2011, finishing in second place that season but sealing the title on his second attempt this Sunday.
The Italian was formerly manager of Chelsea but was harshly sacked by Roman Abramovich in May 2011.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic said that he wanted to stay in Paris and that he wanted Ancelotti to remain in charge, too.
'He did a fantastic job this year,' said the Swede.

'This is a very good coach who teaches us a lot.
'He has advanced us further during a season that has not been easy. We lost Nick Broad (the club's performance manager, killed in a car accident) in January, do not forget that.
'It was a very difficult time for the team, for everyone. It was tough mentally, he was very important to us. This victory is for him. To win after all we've been through, it's even harder.'
The striker added: 'I'm very happy here. My start here in Paris has been perfect. I could not ask for more.
'Now I'll do my best to defend the title. I have a two-year contract. I am a professional and I respect the contracts.'
Ancelotti delighted by title win but unsure over future
