Reports in Italy suggested that the 68-year-old was ready to accept a €300million offer for 75 per cent of his controlling interest to Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir.

Moratti has admitted in the past to holding talks with Thohir over a significant investment in the Serie A side.

But he would not reveal any new information about potential developments.

"I was informed about (the stories) and I read them myself this morning," he said.

"I keep learning about what's going on thanks to the newspapers."

When asked if any meetings were scheduled, Moratti merely answered "No."
