Philippe Mexes denies AC Milan exit wish

AC Milan defender Philippe Mexes has denied reports that he hopes to leave the club at the end of the season.

The Frenchman, who arrived at the San Siro last summer, has made a total of 13 appearances for the Rossoneri. However, he insists that he has no issue with manager Massimiliano Allegri and is eager to maintain focus on the title race.

"It hurts to read reports I want to leave Milan or had a fight with the coach, as none of it is true," he told Milan Channel.

"We must believe to the end. We must win our remaining two games and hope for another slip-up from [Juventus]."

Allegri's side remain in Milan for a showdown with rivals Inter this weekend.
