AC Milan assistant coach Luigi Ricci says Gonzalo Higuain's move to Chelsea is still being worked through.

The striker did not feature as Milan claimed a 2-0 Serie A win at Genoa on Monday, with Rossoneri assistant Riccio phlegmatic about the Argentina striker's absence.

"As for the transfer market we are all grown-ups, we know how to deal with these situations," Riccio said, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

"It has been in the air for a few days.

"But we will work with the players at our disposal."
