The Brazilian has struggled at Inter over the past two seasons and was linked with a move away before last week's transfer deadline.

A transfer did not materialise, however, and Galliani is adamant the 25-year-old will not be moving across Milan when the window reopens in January.

He said: "The idea of him coming here is pure fantasy.

"I don't think Inter will ever give Adriano to Milan, even though we would certainly take him.

"We will not make a move because we've been told he's not available, he's an Inter player."
