The agent of Napoli midfielder Manuele Blasi has cooled talk of a move to AC Milan.

Davide Lippi has clarified the situation, saying that the Rossoneri hold the 30-year-old in "high esteem".

"There is nothing but high esteem and respect, but no agreement," Lippi told Milannews.it. "It is a report that is absolutely false.

"I read about this on some websites, but it is not true. The truth is: the society likes Manuele as a player, and as a man. This, I am certain of.

"But to go from that to being offered a contract is exaggerating.

"I generally meet with many societies on a daily basis, but there is not a set date about an encounter with Milan for the moment."
