David Beckham is another Paris St Germain target, with Ancelotti
also having forged a good relationship with the former England
captain when they were together at AC Milan.
Malouda was a key part of the Chelsea team that won the Premier
League and FA Cup double under Ancelotti in 2009 but has found
himself marginalised this season and, ahead of Euro 2012 this
summer, wants regular football.
"I'm not getting enough playing time," said Malouda. "It's too
limited for the ambitions I have. I can't be happy with that. If it
is necessary, I will leave."
Malouda joined Chelsea from Olympique Lyon in 2007 and is
understood to be attracted by the prospect of playing for PSG.
A final decision over the future of Kombouare is expected
shortly, with the club having issued a statement to say that they
are currently engaged in "serene discussions" with their
manager.
Malouda has also made it clear that he has not agreed a deal to
join Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.
"I couldn't even manage to pronounce the name of this team," he
said.
"I don't know from where these rumours come, when they don't
have any base in reality. Me, I am someone who prefers
transparency. I don't have anything to hide, so I'm telling you the
truth."
Anzhi, meanwhile, have confirmed the appointment of former
Lokomotiv Moscow manager Yuri Krasnozhan as the club's new coach.
Guus Hiddink was under consideration following his departure as
Turkey manager, and is expected to again advise Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich on an informal basis.
Chelsea have transfer-listed Nicolas Anelka and Alex, but are
looking to make two signings this January. A central defender is
the priority, with Chelsea having made an enquiry to Bolton
Wanderers over Gary Cahill.
With Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou both due to play in the
African Cup of Nations, Villas-Boas will be reluctant to lose
Malouda as well as Anelka this January without further adding to
his squad.
