GOOD NEWS - huntelaar won't leave milan

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's agent Arnold Oosterveer is convinced his client will not leave Milan during the summer transfer window.

The striker has been tipped for a Premier League future, but his agent feels that door is not open.

Huntelaar was linked with Tottenham as part of a reported deal involving Milan target Giovanni Dos Santos, but Oosterveer remained firm in his response.

"There has been no request from any Premier League club. I have read the papers, but it's just rumours," he told Sport.co.uk.

"He is happy at Milan and they are happy with him. The Rossoneri want to keep him, and he wants to stay.

Roma Have Not Contacted Milan For Marek Jankulovski

Milan defender Marek Jankulovski's spokesman says he is unaware of a reported interest from Roma, but maintains there is scope for development in relation to the player's future.

Jankulovski's deal expires at the end of next season, but Milan have not moved to offer him a new deal. On Monday he was linked with Roma as Claudio Ranieri is looking for an alternative to John Arne Riise at left-back.

However, a spokesman for the defender told Forzaroma.info that there was no contact from Roma, though he did acknowlege the club could be fitting for him.

"At the moment we have not received any contact from the Giallorossi, but we cannot exclude that there will be positive developments," said the spokesman.

"What we have to do is understand what his future will be. We have to speak with Milan. It's nice to hear of Roma's interest as they are a great club, but I cannot predict that he will go there."

Milan To Promote Youth Team Players Rather Than Spend On Major Transfers - Reports

Milan's policies to curb spending have left coach Massimiliano Allegri facing the sharp end of cuts and, according to Tuttosport, he will promote from within rather than spend on new recruits.

Rodney Strasser, Alexander Merkel, Simone Verdi and Giacomo Beretta are expected to make the step up and join the first team.

Midfielders Strasser and Merkel have impressed during pre-season, the former has already made his Serie A debut and at 20-year-old offers Allegri promise.

Verdi and Beretta may find their space despite the difficulty of breaking into an attacking line-up which includes Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Ronaldinho, Alexandre Pato, Filippo Inzaghi and Marco Borriello.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Verdi is likely to be used as back-up for Ronaldinho, who is currently recovering from injury. He has impressed Allegri this summer and is likely to get more of a chance to show his class in the league.
