AC Milan deny Carlos Tevez swap deal

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Gallaini has refuted suggestions that the Italian side will offer Manchester City one of their players in exchange fro controversial hitman Carlos Tevez.

The Serie A giants are hopeful that a loan deal can be agreed for the 27-year-old, but denies rumours that Alexandre Pato could be heading to the Etihad Stadium.

"There is an offer sent to Manchester for Tevez," Galliani told milanews.it. "However, we have not spoken about any of our players going to City or any other club. Our fans can be calm because this is the truth."

The Premier League leaders have made it clear that they will only accept a permanent move for the Argentina international.
