Porto boss Vitor Pereira has tightened his grip on Rolando after the latter was linked with a move to Italian giants Milan.

The almost 27-year-old is being paired with the Diavolo as they look for a Thiago Silva replacement following his sale to Paris Saint-Germain.

“It’s a waste of time talking about it,” Pereira told A Bola. “Rolando is one of our players.”

The Portuguese international has a contract with his current club until 2016 and his rescission clause is set at a massive €30m.

Rolando joined Porto from Belenenses in 2008.
