'Roma did not contact us now, there was no offer from them at this stage,' he said.
'There was an attempt to contact us many months ago, but we considered it very unlikely to be credible. There have been no developments and there hasn't even been contact with the Giallorossi.'
'Milan? We analyzed the concrete and real proposal that we received. Several clubs have approached Max Allegri in recent months, but we have to make decisions on what concrete materializes.'
'The moment an interesting proposal materialized in a club that the coach liked, an agreement was found in a very short time. Imagination often goes beyond reality.'

Italy in defensive injury crisis ahead of World Cup qualifiers after latest training blow
Italy and CT Luciano Spalletti have hit crisis mode in defence ahead of June's World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova, as Milan centre-back Matteo Gabbia has now come down with a calf issue in training. According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, Gabbia was forced out of the Italy national team training session on Tuesday with a calf injury, which is likely to be a tendon issue according to the initial updates. Advertisement The severity of the issue, and whether Italy will need to call in a replacement, remains to be seen.

(Photo by) Gabbia adds to Italy's defensive injury crisis The Azzurri are already without regular first-team centre-backs Riccardo Calafiori of Arsenal and Napoli's Alessandro Buongiorno through injury. Inter's Francesco Acerbi has recently refused a call-up to join the national team for June's World Cup qualifiers, while there are ongoing fitness concerns over Federico Gatti of Juventus and Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo, both of whom trained separately on Tuesday. Riccardo Calafiori goes down with an injury during the UEFA Nations League quarterfinal leg one match between Italy and Germany at Stadio San Siro on March 20, 2025 in Milan.

Advertisement That means that Inter's Alessandro Bastoni is the only capped central defender currently available in the Italy national team squad. The injury crisis at centre-back could be good news for Fiorentina captain Luca Ranieri, who was called into the squad to replace Buongiorno earlier this week, while the uncapped 21-year-old Diego Coppola could also be in line for an opportunity in his first camp.
