AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has ruled out a move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and says it would be "very difficult" to bring Axel Witsel to San Siro.
The Rossoneri have been linked with a move for Ibrahimovic throughout the summer, with the Sweden international reported to be open to leaving Parc des Princes following three seasons of silverware success.
But Galliani has ruled out a return to Milan for the 33-year-old, who spent two seasons with the club between 2010 and 2012 before joining PSG.
He told Mediaset Premium: “That chapter is closed, he will stay in Paris."
Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel appears set to leave Zenit St Petersburg this summer, with Juventus and Tottenham rumoured to be among the clubs chasing his signature, but again Galliani was keen to play down any speculation linking the 26-year-old with his club.
"I know the player would have wanted to join us but it is difficult for Milan to get him," he added.
Witsel played just over an hour as Zenit slumped to a 3-1 home defeat to Krylya Sovetov in the Russian Premier League on Saturday.
