AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri has insisted that he has no plans to sell Robinho in the January transfer window.

Robinho has been consistently linked with a move back to Brazil in recent weeks after struggling to find form in Serie A this season.

Santos and Corinthians are among the clubs rumoured to be interested in Robinho's signature but Allegri is adamant that the forward will remain in Italy.

He told reporters: "Robinho is finding his form and it is normal that clubs around the world would want him.

"It is evidence of his good performances, but he will remain an important player for Milan for the second half of the season."

The 28-year-old helped Milan to an away win in their last league match, scoring the equaliser in a 4-2 victory over Torino.
