AC Milan chief Adriano Galliani says they've had no contact with Liverpool about Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli is on-loan at Milan from the Reds.

“We've never talked with Liverpool," Galliani told Premium Sport.

“Leave us to finish the season. From May 22 onward we'll talk about the transfer market. There is no meeting scheduled with Liverpool.

“Mario has yet to win his chance to stay, he needs to do very well in the next four games.

“Now we have to defend this sixth-place to make sure we qualify for the Europa League, potentially improving our position by winning the Coppa Italia.

“Going directly into the Group Stage would mean a lot, that we could start playing in Europe in mid-September, do the American tour and so on.

“We have to put some distance between ourselves and Sassuolo, as they're only a point behind."
