Lallana’s current Liverpool deal expires this summer.
And he has been free to negotiate with foreign clubs since January.
Despite their recent woes, Milan are still regarded as one of Europe’s most prestigious clubs.
And Lallana was hoping to secure a move to the San Siro and end a six-year stay at Anfield.
However, Milan do not believe Lallana is good enough to improve their squad, even without a transfer fee.
And it now remains to be seen where the ex-Southampton ace ends up.
It’s reckoned Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is keen on a reunion after signing Lallana for Liverpool in a £25million deal from the Saints in 2014.
Despite only scoring once this season. Lallana’s versatility and experience makes him a good option for Rodgers’ midfield.
Indeed, Rodgers admitted in January that he would be keen on bringing the 31-year-old to the King Power Stadium.
He said: “Adam’s a fantastic player. Someone I brought into Liverpool and I’ve been aware of his talent since he was a young player at Southampton.
“He’s done brilliantly there and I’m sure he’ll be weighing up his options but for us we don’t need to speak about that now.
“We’ve spoken about transfers all January and we don’t need to talk about summer ones now but he’s a top class player.”
