Manchester United’s Nemanja Vidic is one of the candidates to AC Milan next year’s squad as they re interesting at him. Few months ago, the Rossoneri tried to bid over the Serbian defender but he and/or his agent, refused to the offer from il Diavolo. The reports telling that Milan are extremely interesting at the 27-years-old and they are in process of putting together a bid of around the €25 million mark. This kind of money can be a problem or not since if Milan sell Kaka to Real Madrid, money issues are not a problematical issues anymore.
Do Milan really need Vidic? Well I do not know why, but there is a reason that cause Vidic leave Manchester United. He plays very well alongside Rio Ferdinand and I do not certainly sure he will be in the same level alongside defenders are not exactly in Ferdinand’s kind of level. Now when Maldini sits only with the audience, since he retired, Milan sure need a defense back up.
Another defender to the short list: Maxwell, once again with his talks about the possible of leaving Inter, even for Milan. Maxwell’s agent admits his client may not leave San Siro next season but could not be wearing Black & Blue while be wearing with Red & Black uniforms seems more likely. The Rossoneri have been chasing the player for this past season and now, he is supposedly more than willing to cross AC Milan Street.
The Rossoneri would like to find someone who knows how to handle good with Serie A problems. Cristian Zapata is another name Milan have put in front of their eyes to fill in the hole (in the middle of the defense) Maldini’s retire made. Udinese’s center back is only 22 years old and been hunt down by several of clubs including Arsenal, Juventus and Milan. Arsenal have already failed to bring Zapata last summer for €12 million, but now Zapata admits that if a good offer would come off, he and Udinese would not think twice to agree. Zapata to Milan … That would be interesting.
Thiago Emiliano da Silva (shortly – Thiago Silva) will arrive to Milan. The Brazilian supposes to be Maldini’s heir in the middle of the defense and reportedly, has the right skills to do it. He already signed at Milan in this January from Fluminense but could not play with the Black & White uniforms. Milan can have a good defense next season with Vidic, Thiago Silva, Zapata, and Maxwell, or just with some of them.
How can I do one post without write ‘Kaka’ in it, well, apparently, I cannot. New Kaka talks: Zindaine Zidane has said Kaka has already sign in Real Madrid. He said those words: “Kaka has already signed for Madrid, no?” Today, Luis Fabiano says that Kaka could be a great addition to the Spanish football. Adriano Galliani has said that it could be the first time Milan will sell a player for money. Anyway, as I reported, final decision to Kaka’s future on Monday, but I think the decision have already made.
Yaya Toure is the new name Milan think of as they are going to have a little competition on him with Arsenal if Barcelona will let him leave – thing that I think, unlikely to happen at all. While the Gunners have already offer a €13.5m (£12m) over the Ivory Cost star, Milan are just in the start of this process. Toure had an unsuccessful trial with the north London club in 2005; he could find himself there next season. Yaya brother Kolo plays for Arsenal and the 6ft 3in player would like to play alongside him. Milan have different plans for him, however, I stick in my position, – Barca would not let him go.
The Rossoneri half-midfielder David Beckham signed at Milan on a loan period months ago, when he finally realized that maybe he will not be able to play ever again with Black & Red uniforms, he tries his luck by cancel the contract (in legal ways, of course) with LA Galaxy, but unfortunately, fail to do so. Too bad, the fact that a player with so much experience who is also very calm, gave the players more confidence and they felt more secure. His final day at Milan is in 15 days, and than, he will get on the plain to take him back to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Milan’s newest target in transfer zone as reportedly as far as we live is Chelsea’s Florent Malouda. The 28-years-old winger may not continue his football adventure with The Blues and the news in Italy suggest he is on his way to the Boot Country. The new AC Milan coach Leonardo said that he would like to add side power to the attack by adding a winger seems like he found his man. Tough Malouda tried to hint that he wants to stay; the Italian media do not think so. The reports are telling about talks between Milan and Chelsea, which will decide if, he is moving to Italy next year. Neither club have made an official announcement though. The latest news comes just 24 hours after voices in England claimed Malouda was on the verge of signing a new deal at the club worth €75,000 per week.
In the last time, there were talks about Milan interesting to get Napoli’s star Ezequiel Lavezzi. However, Milan’s patron has denied the reports coming from the Italian media that his club will sign Napoli forward Ezequiel Lavezzi to replace the departing Kaka. Berlusconi claim Lavezzi is a good player who can do the job at Milan well, but still, there is no need to buy such a player. “If we are interested in Lavezzi? Absolutely not,” affirmed the president to Sky Sport. Italy prime minister is depending on Alexandre ‘the duck’ Pato who just a little bit better than Napoli’s forward is, “Lavezzi is a forward and in that role we are covered. We already have a world-class player like [Alexandre] Pato.”
Add some power to the front is always good, but I would prefer a striker like Karim Benzema, who is a great young striker or David Trezeguet who has a lot of experience in Serie A. About Trezeguet, Milan wants him as well as I do and Juventus would like to show him the exit door, but I do not know. Maybe he will swap with Benzema and will play for Lyon next year.
That was all ‘Friday Transfer Talks’, hope you liked that.
