"Balotelli never asked to be sold. He will stay at Milan. 100 per cent doesn't exist on the transfer market, but 99.9 per cent does," Galliani told reporters.
Galliani said their attempts to move on Robinho have encountered difficulties, however was confident the Brazilian would find a suitable club.
"There are some offers and more will arrive on Monday," said Galliani.
"We are convinced that we can find a solution."
Galliani said Torino midfielder Alessio Cerci and Arsenal forward Joel Campbell were on Filippo Inzaghi's wishlist, pending the futures of Balotelli and Robinho.
