MILAN, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan club denied on Tuesday that their Vice-President Adriano Galliani met with Pep Guardiola's brother who went to watch the game between the Italian giants and Malaga.

Pere Guardiola appeared in Milan on Tuesday and spent several hours at the Giannino restaurant where Galliani often conducts business. This led to some speculation that they met each other there.

Milan rushed out a statement denying Galliani had "met with family or agents of Mr Guardiola."

The ex-Barcelona coach is still on his Sabbatical and is also wanted by Chelsea.
