Milan have reportedly turned down a bid from Spanish giants Real Madrid for Andrea Pirlo.

The Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Madrid have offered Spanish international midfielder Guti as well as a hefty fee for the Rossoneri’s influential playmaker. But Milan have rejected the offer as Pirlo is an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans next season.

However, Guti could still arrive at Milan in a straight money deal, but any negotiations will have to wait until the player returns from his holiday.

The San Siro outfit have also been linked with Lazio defender Massimo Oddo. It is rumoured that the player has received an offer of a four-year contract from Milan and that officials from the two clubs will be meeting later in the week to negotiate the transfer itself. Despite the increasing rumours in the Italian Press, neither club have commented.
