Van Persie revealed last week that he would not be signing an new contract with the Gunners.

The Dutchman's current deal expires next summer and he has recently been linked with the likes of Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and French side PSG.

But Ancelotti has now ruled the French side out of the race for Van Persie.

"Robin van Persie is not our target but I think there are a number of other clubs who are interested in him," Ancelotti told a press conference.
