AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's move to Paris St Germain will not be completed today, according to club sporting director Leonardo.
The Rossoneri have accepted PSG's reported offer of EU65million (Dh292.2m) for Ibrahimovic and Brazil defender Thiago Silva, who completed his transfer to the Parc des Princes at the weekend.
"We continue to hold talks with Zlatan," the club's sporting director Leonardo told Gazzetta dello Sport. "The negotiations are going forward but I can assure you that today we have no meetings scheduled.".
Reports in Italy claim PSG have offered Ibrahimovic a four-year deal that would see him earn nine million euros per season - the same figure he currently gets as the highest paid player at Milan. However, the 30-year-old wants to sign a three-year deal worth EU15million (Dh67.4m) per season.

Andy Carroll's Liverpool career looks increasingly in doubt after the Anfield club rejected a loan offer for the striker from former club Newcastle United.
The Anfield side are now understood to want to sell the 23-year-old England striker on a permanent deal rather than loan him out for the season.
Last week new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers admitted he would consider sending the £35 million (Dh200m) record signing out on loan, sparking interest from a host of Premier League and European clubs.
But now it looks increasingly likely that the forward, who arrived from St James Park 18 months ago, will be exiting the club sooner rather than later.
AC Milan and West Ham have both shown interest in signing the striker, who scored against Sweden at Euro 2012, while Newcastle would view the forward as a potential replacement for Demba Ba, who has a contract clause over his own transfer status until the end of this month.
