Pirlo rejects Chelsea story
Thursday 18 June, 2009
Andrea Pirlo has distanced himself from reports which suggested he was looking to join Chelsea this summer.
The Milan midfielder was quoted as saying that he was open to the option of leaving Italy in order to work under Carlo Ancelotti at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Italian international has today officially rejected the notion that he is looking to team up with his former Coach again.
“I have never told anyone anything like the quotes which have been attributed to me,” a note on Milan’s official website states.
Chelsea have been linked with a number of Milan players since Ancelotti left the Italian giants earlier this month.
As well as the playmaker, Gennaro Gattuso and Alexandre Pato have been associated, while Kaka was too until he joined Real Madrid.
Ancelotti has been a massive influence on the career of Pirlo after transforming him from a No 10 into a deep-lying midfielder.
