Helton denies Milan link

The Brazilian international's agent claims the shot stopper - full name Helton da Silva Arruda Posicao - has not been contacted by the Rossoneri and will see out the remainder of his contract with the Portuguese champions.

"I was not aware of these rumours nor about links with other big European clubs. It is almost sure that Helton will stay with Porto because he has a deal until June 2012 and the boy is happy in Portugal," Flavio Dias said.

"I have not spoken with any of the Milan directors," he added.

The speculation had thrown into doubt the future of current Milan keeper Dida, but Dias insisted the newly-crowned European champions are not in the market for another keeper and are likely to keep Dida.

"This is pure speculation," he said. "Milan have a great keeper in Dida and because of that a move for Helton is impossible."
