Berlusconi dismisses Pirlo Chelsea link

AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi insists Andrea Pirlo is not on the verge of signing for Chelsea. The Italy midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea ever since the arrival of former Rossoneri coach Carlo Ancelotti to the London club. Reports suggest Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani, who is also said to be preparing a bid to buy the Serie A club, is in London to discuss the deal. However, Berlusconi insists neither story has any basis to it. "They are all stories, there's no truth at all," he said. "I don't know anything, I haven't talked to Galliani: I also learnt this from journalists and I was surprised."
