The Parisians are flush with cash but Ancelotti does not believe he will be spending much of it.

"We will not strengthen", he told Corriere dello Sport. "We expect to have the arrival of Lucas in January and in contract we will probably reduce the number [in our squad].

"De Rossi will not come to Paris. He has remained at Roma, it is his home. When in form he can have very big games, like he showed recently against AC Milan.

"Sneijder? For him it is the same thing. He will not see Paris, unless it is on holiday."
