Milan: AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has revealed that the club's priority in the January transfer window is to sign Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.
The Argentina international has been mooted as Milan's number one transfer target as the Serie A champions look to sign a replacement for Antonio Cassano, who is recovering from a heart surgery.
"I know that there was a meeting between [Tevez's representative] Kia Joorabchian and City on Tuesday, but I do not know what the outcome was," he told Sky Sport 24.
"Unless he signs for another club, we will wait, until 18:59 of January 31, to sign him."
The Milan chief also denied suggestions that the club will offload one of their strikers following suggestions that Alexandre Pato could leave in January.
"There is no chance that Pato will leave," Galliani noted. "If we sign Tevez or any other attacker, it is because of Cassano's problem, but [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic, Robinho and Pato are not on the market."
Galliani then admitted that defender Taye Taiwo could leave in January after the Nigeria international revealed he was unhappy with his lack of first-team action at the club.
"I have not read Taiwo's interview, but I will," he added. "If he wants to leave on loan we will try to find a solution that suits everyone."
