Adriano Galliani says that AC Milan are still undecided on whether or not to sell Brazilian duo Robinho and Alexandre Pato in January.

AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has said that the Italian club have yet to decide on the future of the Brazilian duo Robinho and Alexandre Pato.

Robinho has been linked with a move to Brazilian club Santos, while newly-crowned FIFA Club World Cup champions Corinthians are said to have made a bid for Pato.

"We won't sign any more strikers even if one on the current roster leaves," Galliani told reporters. "If both of them go, then we'll see what we will do.

"We haven't decided yet on Robinho and Pato as it's still only December. The Brazilian transfer window ends on April 15.

"Was the offer for Pato satisfying? We'll see. Robinho wants to go back to Brazil because his family is there and it's a personal choice. We received an offer from Santos which we rejected, but there has not been a second proposal yet."

Galliani added that Milan do not need to sell Robinho and Pato for financial reasons.

"Brazilian football has grown on an economic level, as with sponsorship deals and pay-per-view television the clubs can afford more than they could in the past," he said. "We will speak with Pato and Robinho to decide what to do.

"For now Pato and Robinho are Milan players. Our books are balanced and we are even set to make a profit. Any potential Pato and Robinho sales would go into the 2013 budget."

Milan are currently seventh in Serie A with 27 points from 17 matches.
