Pirlo staying put at Milan?

Chelsea and Liverpool target Andrea Pirlo will not be quitting AC Milan this summer, despite rumours suggesting that the English clubs were set to make £15 million offers for the Italian international.

Club administrator Adriano Galliani said: "We have not received any offers for him (Pirlo). But, if we did, we would return them to the sender."

The quote puts Pirlo's suitors off and likely to look for alternative targets as the Italian is happy to stay at Milan for the 2009/2010 season.
