Milan all quiet on Berbatov rumour


Adriano Galliani has refused to expand on rumours linking Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov with a move to AC Milan.

Bulgaria international Berbatov has been linked with a summer switch to Milan after a fitful two seasons at Old Trafford following a £30million transfer from Tottenham.

Reports have suggested Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to cut his losses on Berbatov at the end of the season, with Milan rumoured to be preparing a bid.

Though Berbatov's agent has played down speculation of a deal, there have been suggestions that Milan could include Dutch frontman Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the package.

Huntelaar has struggled for regular football since leaving Ajax for Real Madrid, and then Milan, and has often been linked with a move to United.

However, while Rossoneri vice-president Galliani admitted the Premier League could be an option for Huntelaar in the future, he played down any imminent swoop for Berbatov.

"When Klaas was at Real Madrid, he had the chance to go to England, Germany or Italy, and he chose Milan," Galliani told the Italian media. "But England could be a future solution.

"I have read about our interest in Berbatov and I have nothing to add."

Galliani has also insisted that none of AC Milan's leading players, including Huntelaar, will leave this summer.

The Rossoneri sold Kaka to Real Madrid last season but the expectation is that the key men in Leonardo's side will return for the 2010-11 campaign.

Galliani said: "We will not sell any stars.

"Certainly not (Alexandre) Pato, nor Thiago Silva and certainly not Ronaldinho, (Klaas Jan) Huntelaar or (Marco) Borriello.

"The next year will be more difficult than 2009 which was saved by Mr. Ricardo Kaka.

"His sale generated an equity of 66million euros."
