Galliani rules out Robinho departure

AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has dismissed reports that Robinho could leave the club for Santos in the January transfer window.

The Brazil international is continually being linked with a move away from the Serie A giants, but Galliani has made it clear the forward will not return to his native country in the coming months.

“Robinho will remain at Milan,” Galliani told reporters.

The 28-year-old Robinho has been struggling to find his best form this season, and his goal against Juve was his first of the 2012/13 campaign.

Galliani also revealed that Milan are likely make Kevin Constant’s stay at the club permanent.

“He (Constant) will probably be signed permanently,” Galliani said.

The 25-year-old Constant joined the San Siro side on a season-long loan deal from Genoa in the close-season transfer window.
