Reports of late have linked Nunez with a move to AC Milan in January, with the Rossoneri looking to take him on loan with an option to buy next summer.

Simon Jones has now shut that down speculation, however, in Mail Sport, by claiming that there has been no contact between chiefs at the San Siro and Liverpool over the striker.
