"Fab's Milan move appears dead"

Luis Fabiano's agent admits he has all but given up on securing the Sevilla striker a move to AC Milan.

The Rossoneri have long been linked with the Brazil forward and have reportedly had a 14million euro bid turned down by Sevilla.

The Primera Division side are said to be holding out for an offer close to Luis Fabiano's 26 million euro release clause, a figure Milan are not prepared to pay.

Rossoneri chiefs admitted recently negotiations are at stalemate and Fabiano's agent feels now the 28-year-old will not be moving to the San Siro.

"If Milan have described the deal as blocked, I now have to think it's the end, which is the truth," Jose Fuentes told Calciomercato.it. "I continue to hope to go to Milan but listening to Milan say this, my hope also dies.

"The most important thing if Milan want, if they really want to do this deal, is for (Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani to contact (Sevilla president Jose Maria) Del Nido, let him talk directly to the Sevilla president.
