Defender Gabriel Paletta believes Milan 'can't give up' on European qualification, whilst discussing the national team and Palermo.
Il Diavolo are enduring a nightmare season and are still eight points away from sixth-placed Fiorentina, whom they will have to overtake to qualify for next year's Europa League.
Paletta, in an interview with Sky Sport, believes the target is not too distant for Milan at all, though.
“We can't give up on it, there are still 10 games to be played,” he has considered.

Il Diavolo are enduring a nightmare season and are still eight points away from sixth-placed Fiorentina, whom they will have to overtake to qualify for next year's Europa League.
Paletta, in an interview with Sky Sport, believes the target is not too distant for Milan at all, though.
“We can't give up on it, there are still 10 games to be played,” he has considered.
“If we perform the way we did in the last few matches, in which we improved a great deal, then we'll win more of them than we'll lose.
“[Coach Filippo] Inzaghi believes in it no less than we do. We're the ones who take to the pitch, and if we play together we can make it.”
The Italo-Argentine then discussed the Azzurri, as well as the upcoming game against Serie A rivals Palermo.
“If I do well for Milan then I'll be called up again in the national team. [Azzurri Coach Antonio] Conte has already called me in the past, but that stopped when I picked up my back injury.
“As for the polemics regarding the oriundi, I think it's fair that they should be called. I was there at the last World Cup too.
“I know [Paulo] Dybala and [Franco] Vazquez well, and they were decisive back in Argentina too. They're two strong players, they know each other well, and they cooperate on the pitch.
“On Saturday we'll have to keep an eye open for them because they're the two most important players for Palermo.”
