Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti has urged unsettled striker Christian Vieri to remain with the Italian giants.
The forward has been linked with a move to Spain following his difficulties in the Rossoneri shirt since his summer arrival from Inter.
Vieri has scored just one goal in eight League games and is understandably concerned that a lack of action may cost him his place at the World Cup Finals.
Atletico Madrid, Real Betis and Espanyol have been linked but Ancelotti wants the 33-year-old to snub a January exit.
"I would be happy if he stayed," the tactician told Sky Italia. "However, a lot depends on his needs and his wishes need to be respected, especially in World Cup year."
Vieri was brought in following Hernan Crespo’s return to Chelsea, but has failed to fill the hole left by the Argentine.
"Hernan did very well between January and May last year, Vieri could do the same," continued Ancelotti.
Vieri, who was once the world’s most expensive player following his £32m move to Inter from Lazio, has also been linked with Spurs, Newcastle and Liverpool.
Vieri has sat on the bench for most of this season as Ancelotti has favoured an Alberto Gilardino and Andriy Shevchenko partnership.
