AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has once more played down suggestions that Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli could join the Italian club in January.
Balotelli has long been linked with a return to Italy following a host of off-the-field problems, but Allegri has refused to comment on a possible move.
"I don't know if I'll train Mario Balotelli, I don't like to talk about it because he is a Manchester City player," he told the Milan Channel.
It is expected that Milan will be in the market for a striker, however, with Allegri admitting that Alexandre Pato and Robinho could leave the club.
He added: "Who we'll take in January? We must assess, we're waiting to see what happens with Pato and Robinho, then we'll see."
Milan currently occupy seventh spot in the Serie A table.
