asked to leave the club and Sami Khedira has rejected a new contract.
Di Maria, who has been heavily linked with a move to both Manchester
United and Paris St Germain, has rejected the offer of a new contract
with the current European champions.
Khedira, who has also turned down new terms at the Bernabeu, has been
a reported target for Arsenal this summer and Arsene Wenger admitted
on Thursday that he was still hoping to strengthen his squad before
the transfer window closes.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will make no emergency
purchases in the summer transfer window, but he is open to
strengthening his defence,
Ancelotti said. "Di Maria asked to go in the summer and has rejected
an offer from the club, The player has to look for a solution.
"If when the transfer market closes he's still here, he will work with
us like last season and there will be no problem."
PSG manager Laurent Blanc admitted that UEFA fair play rules could
scupper any further interest from his club.
"With large players like Di Maria, there are a lot of clubs behind him
certainly," Blanc told L'Equipe.
"PSG can not do what he wants in terms of recruitment (because of
financial fair play). This is a difficult issue, the president has
confirmed to me."
Ancelotti said of Khedira: "It's a different situation to Di Maria.
He's not asked to go. He's rejected an offer to renew, but has a year
of contract. We'll see what happens."
Madrid signed two more attacking midfielders in James Rodriguez and
Toni Kroos this summer to increase the pressure for places in their
star-studded squad.
Di Maria came off the bench in the Super Cup first leg against
Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night, but Khedira did not feature.
