Milan deny holding talks on Guardiola

AC Milan have rejected reports that club vice president Adriano Galliani held talks with the brother of former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola yesterday afternoon.

Pere Guardiola reportedly spent several hours at the Giannino restaurant in Milan — where Galliani regularly holds business meetings — with Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport among those suggesting discussions took place concerning a possible future role at the San Siro for the unemployed coach.

But the Rossoneri quickly issued a statement on the club’s website denying any contact between the parties.
