AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed his side have decided not to follow up their interest in Manchester City striker Carlo Tevez this month.
The Serie A champions had promised to come to a decision regarding the arrival of a new forward on Friday and remained hopeful until the last minute that a deal for the Argentina international was possible.
"We were very close to an agreement with City," Galliani told Milan Channel. "If at 18.30 someone asked me who would join, I would have said Tevez.
"In any case, our relations with City are good now and we have solved some misunderstandings.
"I did everything possible, I had my heart in my mouth today, I could not have done more. We had everything set for Tevez to come, but the situation changed.
"I would like to thank him for waiting until Friday evening, as promised. We will talk with City again in June."
Instead of Tevez, Milan signed Catania's Maxi Lopez, whose move had been in limbo for over a month as he waited for the Serie A champions to make a decision.
"I had given my word to Catania and Maxi," Galliani added. "He is a strong player and he is ready."
