AC Milan rule out Mario Balotelli swoop

AC Milan have ruled out a move for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli has been linked with a City exit recently, and had a training ground incident with boss Roberto Mancini last week.

The Italian international has admitted to being a Milan fan in the past but their CEO Adriano Galliani has ruled out a move, stating that Robinho would also be staying at the San Siro.

"Robinho will not leave. We failed to agree a deal with Santos and his agent couldn't agree personal terms either," Galliani told Sky Sports.

"Our attacking options are sorted, there will be no ins or outs. Robinho is happy to stay at Milan so he will. The rumours linking us with Mario Balotelli are false.

"I do not have a problem with the striker himself but our forward department is complete."

Balotelli has also been linked with Napoli this transfer window.
