Dubai is dismissing reports its ruler is eyeing a stake in Italian football team AC Milan.

A Dubai government official says the sheikdom would like to make clear that neither Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum or "any of his advisers are in discussions to purchase a stake in AC Milan."

The official spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity in line with official policy.
