AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is pessimistic over their chances of signing CSKA Moscow attacker Keisuke Honda this month.
Galliani also admits a move for Fiorentina midfielder Adem Ljajic is unlikely.
"There is no chance for Honda, as the President of CSKA is on vacation. I have no plans to meet the Della Valle family this weekend.
"Will Max Allegri have a gift? We'll see."
