The Rossoneri are looking to
reinforce their attack following
the departure of Zlatan
Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-
Germain, and were hoping to
acquire Alexis on a one-year loan
deal with an option to make the
move permanent at the end of
the season.
However, Barca has shot down
Milan's advances as it sees the
23-year-old as an integral part of
their squad.
Alexis joined Barcelona from
Udinese in the summer of 2011,
and netted 12 goals in 25 Liga
appearances in his first season at
the Catalans.
Meanwhile, Milan is ready to sell Robinho
this summer if a good offer
comes in.
Head coach Massimiliano Allegri
does not see the former
Manchester City forward as a key
player, and an offer in the region
of 9 million euros would be
enough to lure the Brazil
international away from the San
Siro side.
Robinho has been linked with
clubs such as Santos and Malaga
in the past few months.
