Galliani silent on Balotelli rumours

AC Milan chief Adriano Galliani has remained tight-lipped over the club’s reported interest in Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli.

The San Siro outfit have long been credited with an interest in the controversial striker, who could be sold in the off-season after a series of disciplinary problems at City.

Galliani was coy when asked if Milan were keen on the Italy international and his City team-mate Carlos Tevez, who the Serie A champions failed to sign during the January transfer window.

“No, I have not talked to Balotelli and even if I did, I would not tell you,” he told reporters.

“Carlos Tevez? I do not know who he is,” Galliani added in jest.

The Milan official then shared his view on the title situation in Serie A, as his club are just one point behind leaders Juventus, with six matches remaining.

“We are recovering some players and our situation is slowly improving,” Galliani said.

“The calendar does not mean anything right now. Every match is worth three points and there are no easy games left.”

Milan will host Bologna in Serie A action on Sunday.
