AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has shot down speculation that Gennaro Gattuso is close to leaving the San Siro.

Il Corriere Dello Sport has reported that 'Rino's' dealings with the club has reached an all-time low after he declined a contract extension. The news outlet is now claiming that the midfield enforcer will leave the Rossoneri and join Manchester City.

However, Galliani has rubbished any reports indicating that Gattuso is, indeed, on his way out.

"Milan is not a hotel where players can get up and check out," Galliani told the press.

"Gattuso has a contract with us and he will not leave in January."
