Aly Cissoko had looked poised for a move to the Rossoneri after AC Milan and Porto agreed a €15 million fee for the player.

However, his transfer to the Italian giants was put on hold after his first medical with Milan revealed dental problems.

Cissokho told the Portuguese press late on Wednesday that he was set to sign for Milan following a second medical exam which showed the problem with his teeth could be easily fixed.

Porto have now confirmed that AC Milan have decided to call the deal off as the player failed to meet the club's medical department's demands.

A statement issued by Porto to the Portuguese stock market read, "Porto would like to inform the market that the agreement in principle with AC Milan for the transfer of Aly Cissokho is of no effect anymore, since the athlete could not meet the demands of the medical department of AC Milan."
