The agent of Koln striker Lukas Podolski has insisted that his client is comfortable with his current situation, but refused to rule out the possibility of a move to AC Milan.

Representative Kon Schramm recently declared his client would not leave his hometown club in January. However, the player has not yet committed his long-term future to Koln, having declined to discuss a potential contract extension before the summer.

"Milan? We don’t comment on these rumors," Scramm exclusively told Goal.com. "There are a bunch of rumors on him, every day there are calls from Italy, from England and even from Russia.

"The real truth is that Lukas has a contract with Koln and he is comfortable there. At the moment this is how things are."

Podolski has scored 14 goals in 16 Bundesliga appearances this season, prompting interest from Milan and Arsenal, among others. The 26-year-old has a contract that will expire in 2013 and Koln have pledged to sell him before summer's end should he opt not to extend his stay.
