Adriano Galliani has dismissed reports suggesting that AC Milan were considering making an approach to sign Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid in January.

The Italian club's vice-president was reacting to rumours that the Rossoneri were ready to make a move and told Radio TV that they were in fact looking to bolster two different positions.

Corriere dello Sport stated in midweek that Madrid were ready to off-load Cannavaro as they will not be renewing his contract in the summer, when he can leave on a free transfer.

"Cannavaro in January? There is absolutely no truth in it. It is a story that has no truth to it," Galliani stated.

"We have already signed a great central defender in Thiago Silva who will join us in July.

"It is not true that we want to sign him. We are looking for a left-sided or central player and if that does not happen then we will stick with the players that we have."
