AC Milan CEO, Adriano Galliani insists the club have not received a bid from Arsenal for Mario Balotelli.
Arsene Wenger had met with the striker’s agent, Mino Raiola, in Brazil in June for talks over a potential €31 million move but the Gunners have not followed up their interest in the 23-year-old, according to Adriano Galliani. Milan’s club president, Silvio Berlusconi also conceded that a deal between the two clubs had stalled.
Galliani has now confirmed that Arsenal have not followed up their interest in the former Manchester City forward.
“We have not received any offer [for Balotelli] and at this time, there is nothing from Arsenal,” Galliani said on Sunday.
Meanwhile, new Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi maintains Balotelli remains part of his plans for the new campaign.
