The Italian has made no attempt to hide his admiration for the Uruguay international, who has established himself as a favourite with the Anfield faithful despite controversy
Paris Saint-Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed his interest in signing Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
t was reported in February that the Ligue 1
giants were open to offering the Uruguay international a route out of
England following his eight-game ban for racially abusing Manchester
United defender Patrice Evra.
The link resurfaced earlier this week and, when Ancelotti was asked during an interview with PA if he would like to acquire the services of the Reds forward, the Italian replied: "Suarez is a good striker, yes."
Ancelotti
also revealed that he expects to sign winger Florent Malouda from
Chelsea during the summer, having failed with a previous attempt to land
the Frenchman.
"We were interested in January, but I think in
June we will have a different solution," the two-time Champions League
winner claimed.
Addressing his departure from Stamford Bridge at
the end of last season, just a year after he led the Blues to the
double, Ancelotti insisted that he bore no ill will towards club owner
Roman Abramovich for firing him on the back of a trophyless campaign.
LUIS CHANGE?

"When I signed a contract for Chelsea it was very clear: If I couldn't
win, I had to leave," he explained. "So, it was not a surprise."
Ancelotti
insisted that he is currently enjoying the challenge of trying to
establish PSG as a major force in European football but did admit that
he would one day like to lead his country.
"Yes, it's a different
job to train the [Italy] national team," the former AC Milan coach
mused. "[It] could be another good experience."
PSG are currently second in Ligue 1, two points behind leaders Montpellier with five games remaining.
