The Major League Soccer side have been also linked with a move for the Los Balncos star, having already brought in Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Ancelotti, however, has played down reports of the Croatian midfielder wanting to leave amid the limit game time.
"I don't think he's raising it (leaving in January). We think he's very important and he knows it too.
"He doesn't have that thought and we're happy with him."
The arrival of Jude Bellingham has seen Ancelotti use less of both Modric and Toni Kroos, as Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga.
With Modric's contract expiring in June next year, there are reports claiming the the two parties could come to an agreement on an early release in January.
