AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti will almost certainly be staying at the club according to vice-president Adriano Galliani.
Speculation in the Italian press has long linked Ancelotti with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid but Galliani said that would not happen.
However, he said Milan would wait until they knew for sure which European competition they were playing in next season before beginning their summer shopping.
“It’s 99.99 percent certain he will stay. All transfer dealings will begin the day when we know exactly what competition we’ll be in,” said Galliani.
“I think and I hope it will be the Champions League. As for Ancelotti and Real I’m not worried.
“He has a contract (until the end of next season) and then (Real president) Florentino Perez keeps telling me he’s a friend, he would never do this without telling me.
“All this attention shows that he’s a coach in demand and we were clever in signing him.”
