Manchester City coach David Platt denies Mario Balotelli is all set to join AC Milan.

Fresh reports have emerged claiming negotiations between the clubs have begun but City's public message on the matter has not changed.

First-team coach David Platt said: "I saw that speculation (on Sunday) but I've not heard anything.

"As far as we are concerned I think he is still a Manchester City player. I don't think there is anything is going to happen."
