AC Milan won't sell Kevin Boateng

AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani insists midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng won’t be sold in the summer.

The future of the 25-year has been hugely speculated with Milan believed to be interested in selling the ex-Ghana international to raise funds.

Boateng is one of the outfit’s most valuable assets, an attacking midfielder who has the potential to fetch around €18m on the transfer market.

He missed a chunk of Milan games this season due to consistent injuries that plighted his campaign.

Many also believe his party lifestyle and off-the-field antics with his Italian WAG Mellisa Satta distracted his season while manager Massimiliano Allegri is believed to be unhappy with the player’s discipline.

But Galliani has played down talks of selling the player and two others in the summer.

“No big offer will force us to sell any of those players (Ibrahimovic and Robinho),” Galliani said

“They are really important to our fortune next season. The coach s very happy with Boateng and they will continue to work next season,”

Spanish giants Real Madrid has targeted the former Portsmouth man who joined the Rossoneri in 2010.
