Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has been adamant that Ronaldinho, 30, will not only see out the last year of his contract this coming season but also stay at the club for the rest of his career.
However, problems with the Brazilian's fitness after the close-season break have reignited speculation about a late transfer window move for the waning talent, with Los Angeles Galaxy said to be very interested.
"Milan confirm yet again that Ronaldinho and Thiago Silva are absolutely not for sale," the Serie A club said.
Reports had said Milan would try to recruit fellow Brazilian Robinho, on loan at Santos from Manchester City, if former world player of the year Ronaldinho departed.
Defender Thiago Silva is still being linked to Real Madrid despite the Rossoneri saying previously they had rejected the Spanish club's advances and would not be selling.
