AC Milan have denied reports that vice-president Adriano Galliani organised a meeting with jobless manager Pep Guardiola.

The Spaniard, who has been out of work since leaving Barcelona this summer, is believed to have sparked rumours that he could be moving to Italy but the Serie A side have been quick to dismiss the speculation.

A statement on the club's official website said: "AC Milan denies the occurrence of a presumed meeting between vice-president Adriano Galliani with family or agents of Mr Guardiola, following news stories that have emerged from several outlets."

Guardiola has also been heavily linked with a move to Champions League winners Chelsea.
