Agent Denies Andrea Dossena's Milan Link


The agent of Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena insists that his client will not be making a January transfer from England to AC Milan.

The Italian international has experienced a tough start to his Anfield career, with inconsistency and errors littering his opening few months in the Premier League.

The 27-year-old has failed to dislodge Fabio Aurelio as the club's first choice left-back, and has had to be content with a role on the bench.

As such, the former Udinese man was strongly linked with a transfer back to Serie A, with Uefa Cup contenders AC Milan thought to be leading the chase for his signature.

However, the player's representative: Roberto La Florio, has confirmed that no contact has been made with a view to a January switch, and also revealed that Dossena is happy with life on Merseyside despite his indifferent displays on the field since his £7 million switch from the Friuli.

La Florio told tuttomercatoweb: "I do not know of an approach at this time from the Rossonero club.

"Andrea is good at Liverpool and Mr. Benitez keeps him under consideration.

"There was talk of Milan in the summer, along with Juventus, but in the end it was Liverpool that won his services and gave the required figure to Udinese."
