AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has said that the club will not allow Bryan Cristante to be loaned out during the transfer window.

The 18-year-old scored his first goal for the club during their 3-0 win over Atalanta this weekend and Galliani has insisted that he will be staying at the San Siro.

"We have had requests from a lot of teams, but he is staying here," he told Milan Channel.

"I talked to him and his agent and told him to remain calm. And he will find his space.

"Indeed, we are not so short in midfield with him and the fact is that we have [Sulley] Muntari and [Riccardo] Montolivo suspended in the Champions League, and in the first leg [of the last-16 tie] against Atletico Madrid, Cristante will play."

Milan are currently 11th in the Serie A table.
