NO THANKS: Mattia De Sciglio has reportedly rejected an offer from Liverpool

That is according to Italian website CalcioMercato, who claim the AC Milan full-back has also snubbed a proposal from Napoli.
De Sciglio, a regular in Antonio Conte's team at Euro 2016, will reportedly only consider quitting Milan if Juventus come calling.

It will come as a blow to Jurgen Klopp after previous reports in Italy suggested he was keen on adding the 23-year-old to his squad.
The Liverpool boss is on the hunt for a full-back to challenge Alberto Moreno with Jon Flanagan heading to Burnley on loan.

Moreno has struggled to impress at Anfield and Klopp started midfielder James Milner in his place in last night's friendly, ironically, against Milan.
De Sciglio has made 104 appearances for Milan since making his professional debut in 2011.

He would have brought versatility to the Reds as he is capable of playing at left-back and right-back.
Klopp has strengthened his defence with two new additions during the summer.
Central defenders Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan arrived from German clubs Schalke and Augsburg respectively.
