The Rossoneri are keen to capture the signature of Fiorentina's star man but the club's CEO has insisted someone will have to leave to balance the books

if the Brazilian leaves, says the club's CEO Adriano Galliani .

Galliani is not sure whether the forward will be at the club come the start of the season but, if he does depart San Siro , the

chief says highly-rated Fiorentina man Ljajic , 21, could be part of their contingency plans.

"If Robinho does leave, there are several candidates to replace him, including Ljajic ," he told reporters.

With the Brazilian transfer market closing soon, Milan's CEO knows time is running out to do a deal which would see Robinho leave the club for his homeland.

Meanwhile, Santos vice-president Odilio Rodriguez says negotiations are still taking place between Milan and his club over the transfer of the former Manchester City and Real Madrid forward.
