Chelsea forward Didier Drogba is not on AC Milan's wish-list, according to club vice-president Adriano Galliani.

Reports in Italy have claimed that Milan want to replace Antonio Cassano with Stamford Bridge star Drogba this summer.

Cassano is a reported target of Serie A side Fiorentina.

However, Galliani has told Corriere dello Sport: "We are covered in attack and hence, Drogba will not arrive."

Fernando Torres' big-money move to Chelsea in January led to growing speculation that Drogba could leave the west London club this summer.

The 33-year-old, who is under contract with the Blues for a further year, endured a disappointing second half of last season, scoring just four goals in 20 Premier League appearances.
