Galliani: No bids for Pirlo

Milan based football giants AC Milan have said that no offer has been made either by Chelsea or any other club for star midfielder Andrea Pirlo.

Club administrator Adriano Galliani responded to reports in England suggesting, that Chelsea had already made a move for the World Cup-winning Italian.

However, no bids have been placed as the player has been linked with a move to Chelsea this summer, where he would play under former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.

“We have not received any offers for Pirlo, not from Chelsea or any other club,” said AC Milan club administrator Adriano Galliani.

Galliani also brushed aside rumours in the Spanish press that they are eyeing Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Gago as the ideal replacement for Pirlo.

“Pirlo is a Milan player,” said Galliani. “Hence, Gago cannot be our aim.”

“If Pirlo leaves then we will see.”
