AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has refused to dismiss reports of a swap deal involving Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Dimitar Berbatov.[LNB] Berbatov has been linked with a summer switch to Milan after enduring a mixed two seasons at Manchester United since his £30million transfer from Tottenham.[LNB]Reports have suggested Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to cut his losses on the Bulgarian at the end of the season, with Milan rumoured to be preparing a bid.[LNB]Though Berbatov's agent has played down speculation of a deal, there have been suggestions that a package involving Huntelaar is being prepared.[LNB]Huntelaar has struggled for regular football since leaving Ajax for Real Madrid, and then Milan, and has often been linked with a move to United.[LNB]Galliani admitted the Premier League could be an option for Huntelaar in the future and refused to talk about the Rossoneri's reported interest in Berbatov.[LNB]"When Klaas was at Real Madrid, he had the chance to go to England, Germany or Italy, and he chose Milan," Galliani told the Italian media. "But England could be a future solution.[LNB]"I have read about our interest in Berbatov and I have nothing to add."[LNB]Later on Galliani was more certain on the future of Huntelaar.[LNB]He said: "We will not sell any stars.[LNB]"Certainly not (Alexandre) Pato, nor Thiago Silva and certainly not Ronaldinho, Huntelaar or (Marco) Borriello.[LNB]"The next year will be more difficult than 2009 which was saved by Mr. Ricardo Kaka.[LNB]"His sale generated an equity of 66million euros."[LNB]Meanwhile, United winger Nani has outlined his intention to ease some of the goalscoring burden on Wayne Rooney during the final weeks of the Premier League title race.[LNB]Nani said: "I want to score more goals. We need more players to score because, if you've got just one player scoring, then that is bad for the team.[LNB]"I'm playing well on the training ground and that's why I play every week in the games."
