Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has denied suggestions that he tried to sell Mario Balotelli and Carlos Tevez to AC Milan.
Mancini met with Milan chief Adriano Galliani on Monday, but the former Inter Milan coach has insisted that it was a personal trip.
"It lasted 10 minutes and I certainly didn't make an offer for Thiago Silva. Even less did I offer Balotelli or Tevez to Milan," he told The Sun.
Mancini is expected to acquire a host of new players ahead of the 2012-13 Premier League campaign.
