AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella has no interest in bringing in Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas as replacement for the injured Riccardo Montolivo.
Montolivo faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery, re-igniting speculation Milan could move for Fabregas.
The Serie A side was already linked with a move for the Spain international during the summer, but Montella has made it clear the club is not interested in signing Fabregas.
"We need a player with Montolivo's characteristics, someone who knows how to play in a midfield of two. Fabregas does not have these characteristics," Montella told Corriere della Sera.
