Milan keen to keep hold of Huntelaar

Milan sporting director Ariedo Braida insists the club has no plans to sell Dutch forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar this summer.

Huntelaar has been linked with a move away from the San Siro this summer after failing to make an impact in the Serie A.

Benfica, with sporting director Rui Costa, are among the clubs reportedly interested in signing the former Real Madrid forward.

“Milan do not want to sell Huntelaar, this is a player who has three more years of contract with us,” Braida told Diario de Noticias. “Huntelaar has quality and we do not want to let him leave.

“In football, anything is possible, but I find it very hard that Huntelaar is transferred to another club. Rui Costa is a friend, a friend of Milan, an ex-player of Milan and a lovable person. We have never spoken about Huntelaar.”
