Pirlo rejected Premiership move.I love how all these guys are staying loyal to Milan. I thought they'd lose a few players after having a pretty crap season and failing to qualify for the CL.
Lets hope Kaka follows their lead.
| Quote: | AC Milan's Italy international Andrea Pirlo has confirmed he recently rejected the chance of a move to England or Spain.
Reports in England and Spain suggested Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid had all offered around 50million euros (£39.9million) for the 29-year-old midfielder.
But the former Brescia and Inter Milan ace is happy at the San Siro and has hinted he will now see out his career with the Rossoneri.
"I feel good at Milan and I'm happy to stay," he said. "A few years ago there could have been a different situation.
"Milan could have been relegated to Serie B and there was a possibility I would have left.
"Now we're in Serie A and despite missing out on next year's Champions League we're in the middle of something special.
"I've only won one Scudetto and now I want to win another. I had offers from Spain and England.
"It's flattering to be wanted by such prestigious sides, but I'm in the world's strongest side and I have no intention of leaving."
New Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola knows Pirlo from their time together at Brescia, but the Italian ace has not heard anything from the Catalan giants.
"Would I join Barcelona? Maybe. I know Guardiola from Brescia and maybe he sees a little of himself in me, but I have never spoken with him," he concluded.

Way too much money to be paying for someone with no more than 3 good seasons left.
Brilliant player for Milan and loyalty like that is not so common nowadays in a world of big bucks and sponsership!!!
Look at those big twats who have autobiographies out who've only lived for a short time (ahem Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard and even Lewis Hamilton)
I'm all for loyalty in a club like Maldini has as well a massive prime example! Now players who have the world at their feet lose their enthusiasm for the game. I play it for the love of the game and would do it for free no questions asked. But nowadays people lose the love of the game and see it as a business venture to a means of a better life.
The England National team is a disgrace and a massive example of all that talent all that money and completely shit all to show for it!!!
Rant over lol!
