Paris Saint-Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti has moved to distance himself from speculation linking Barcelona's David Villa to the Ligue 1 runners-up.

Ancelotti has claimed that PSG are in the market for players who do not have histories of injury, and denies speculation that he is looking at Villa as an option.

"We have not thought about David Villa for the simple reason that he has been injured for a long time," Ancelotti said.

"He is a great forward, but we are in the process of searching for one who does not have physical problems.

"Besides, I do not even think that Barcelona would let him go."

Villa has been out of action since breaking his tibia in December last year.
