Leonardo has dismissed talk Paris Saint-Germain are lining up moves for Milan duo Franck Kessie and Theo Hernandez.
Kessie's contract expires at the end of this season, so the Ivory Coast midfielder will be free to talk to other clubs in January.

Milan are eager to keep the 24-year-old, who has been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham, but have been unable to agree terms on a new deal.
Big-spending PSG are also reported to be eyeing up Kessie along with his team-mate Hernandez.
Yet the Ligue 1 giants' sporting director Leonardo has rubbished claims that approaches have been made for the two key Milan players.
Leonardo was previously a player, coach and director for the Rossoneri.
"We haven't contacted any player, there's nothing with Franck Kessie or Theo Hernandez," he said.
Milan head coach Stefano Pioli on Saturday responded to Leonardo's comments by saying: "I'm not going to comment on Leonardo's words. I'm interested in seeing the players available and that's it."
France left-back Hernandez is under contract with Milan until June 2024.
