Bayer Leverkusen and Southampton had asked about Jens Petter Hauge, who remained at Milan despite knowing he risked the exclusion from the Europa League.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the Norwegian was ‘of course hurt’ by being left out of the European competition but it could give him more chances to play in Italy.
Hauge scored his first goal for Milan in the competition, as he bagged three goals in five games in the group stage and three times in the preliminary rounds with Bodo/Glimt.
Bayer Leverkusen had, according to the report, requested a loan deal for the 21-year-old in recent weeks and Southampton tried to bring him to the Premier League, but Milan decided to keep him at San Siro.
The youngster knew there was a chance he would be excluded from the UEFA list and the newspaper reveals it was a painful decision for the former Bodo/Glimt forward, but it could allow him to have more space in the League.
