Owner Berlusconi not looking to sell Milan

Milan owner and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has moved to refute speculation that he is looking to sell the Serie A club.

Reports in the Italian press have suggested that Berlusconi is extremely worried by the team's performances on the pitch. 

Genoa-based newspaper Il Secolo XIX claimed on Wednesday that Berlusconi is eager to find a buyer, but he has been quick to stress otherwise.

A statement released through Italian news wire ANSA read: "In spite of numerous disclaimers, indiscretions about a potential sale of Milan emerge recurrently, Milan's President Silvio Berlusconi reiterates, once again, that these hypotheses are void of substance."

Filippo Inzaghi's men face a crucial league encounter at fifth-placed Lazio on Saturday.
