Asked why Juve would gamble losing the club's great symbol, Galliani replied last night: "I do not want to become involved in other people's business.

"Milan does not sell our own players and we try to keep them until the end of their careers.

"We have Ancelotti, Tassotti, Costacurta on the staff of the first team, Filippo Galli, Evani, Baresi with the juniors. We are a united group, in which everyone feels part of the family and all row in the same direction. We are sentimental and this type of management appeals to us."
