| | Pirlo's rise request refused |

Reports in the peninsula suggest that Andrea Pirlo has seen a request for a pay rise turned down by Milan.
The Azzurri midfielder is under contract at San Siro until 2011 – a deal that effectively ties him to the club for the rest of his career.
Pirlo and his agent Tullio Tinti were at the Rossoneri’s headquarters in Via Turati yesterday morning to meet with Vice-President Adriano Galliani.
Sources suggest that Tinti cited interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid as a reason for an increase in Pirlo’s salary.
However, the Rossoneri director seems to have refused Tinti’s request and laughed off any suggestion of a new deal.
“Pirlo? He is a Milan player and has three years on his contract,” he said. “There is nothing new and nothing more to say.”
Later in the day, Galliani also entertained Cristian Brocchi’s agent Davide Lippi to discuss the future of the midfield reserve.
The 32-year-old played a peripheral role last term, but he is set to stay in Milan for the 2008-09 campaign.
