Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti has denied the club tried to sign Inter striker Diego Milito in January, and ruled out making any future advances for his signature.
The forward was reportedly a winter transfer target for the Parisians, who made no secret of their desire to land a high-profile attacker, but according to their boss, the Nerazzurri star was never under consideration, and hinted he did not fit in with their recruitment policy.
"I do not know if the club wanted to sign Milito this summer, but in January, we did not try to sign him," Ancelotti was quoted as saying by Tuttomercatoweb.
"I also do not believe that we will try to [sign Milito] in the future, because we want young strikers."
The 32-year-old joined Inter in 2009 from Genoa and has scored 39 goals in 75 Serie A appearances to date, but has been linked with a move away from San Siro in recent months.
