Raiola in Brazil for “Milan’s big hit”

59

MINO RAIOLA has revealed he’s scouting talents with Ariedo Braida in Brazil.

It is no secret that Milan Sporting Director Ariedo Braida is currently in Brazil, searching for new possible targets for AC Milan for the January and the June transfer markets, but it now emerges that he’s not alone.

Agent Mino Raiola, who represents Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mark Van Bommel, Robinho and Urby Emanuelson inter alia, has revealed on Wednesday that he’s in the Samba land with Braida, working on something.

Gattuso back in 45 days?
Galliani: “Berlusconi will return to Milan”

“Tevez to Milan is not impossible, but I’m in Brazil for a big hit with Braida,” Raiola, who also represents Mario Balotelli, told Metro as reported today by Milannews.it. I’ve been here [in Brazil] for the past 10 days with Ariedo. We’ve seen a lot of games, but the target will be the most important player that Milan will sign.

“In January? Maybe. I just know that in January, Milan should use the non-EU place they have available. Tevez? I do not know. A loan isn’t impossible. Two years ago City loaned Robinho to Santos for free.”

Raiola said similar things in May before the summer market but no “big name” eventually arrived.

this article made me smile

Fatte

WORD!

Especially when the word are expressed by Raiola! (:

Ryan

lol Tevez? I’d prefer that young El Shaarawy plays :/

Lets go for a MF aka a trequartista!

and Montolivo!

Nasko

Lets hope its Damaio and Dede :D

nikfes

Ganso!!!!

Idowu

Let me guess – Casemiero, Dimiao.

bleeding d red and black

Anoda mr X dilemma…am sick and tird of dis rumours!!

Hak-oh

YESSS!!!!!!!! Viva il Brasile

Jamil

Hmm

RMilan

Maybe this time he’s telling the truth.. Damiao or other young brazillian starlet. Tevez and Monty could make a significant impact for rossoneri

Wil2

elkeson or paulinho i hope

D-Bo

What type of player is Paulinho? I’ve also noticed that name popping up.

afc

Oscar!!!!

Rossonero 23

big hit?? has to ganso/lucas….

however, we REALLLLLLLYYYYY should sign Dede. Considering we need another extra cb since Nesta is retiring, Yepes is leaving, Bonera is rubbish…that leaves Silva/Mexes

D-Bo

I somewhat agree, but if Albertazzi is able to make the first team and Rodrigo Eli develops, then I think the focus should be on an ACM. We certainly need one.

thiagosilva86

I believe elkeson would do well he’s fast skillful set piece specialist and great long shots with both feet ….. paulinho also linked to milan but something tells me milan could be back on ganso

Kylon

I read that its Paulinho

Rossonero 23

could be Casemiro…Crudeli did say that we already signed him, but you never know..lol.

Ryan

maybe Rhodolfo and Casemiro

Ganso rumours are almost dead so maybe he’s working on that in secret

i’d still prefer Eriksen though

D-Bo

It would be nice to have an ACM with European experience and then another creative playmaker in that midfield who can develop. I don’t know much about Rhodolfo so I don’t know what type of player he is and if he fits that. It’s my understanding that Casemiro is more box-to-box, would that be accurate?

D-Bo

Also wanted to add that if we go Brazil for the ACM, my dream would still be Lucas.

thiagosilva86

Oscar is not ready for calcio …milan don’t need dede now porbably in the summer ..midfielder and AM is needed Elkeson/ganso. Casemiro/paulinho …yes crudelli did say casemiro is already a milan player but we also heard the same reports for ganso.

Mr Goph

As long as the ‘BIG HIT’ is a midfielder n not a striker or a defender then ok by me. But still Braida and Riola were also part of the Mr x thing so we re just going to have to wait and see what happens in january. FINGERS CROSSED!

Mr Goph

Can’t read sweedish but if it’s true and they do get iniesta or any other midfielder for Milan then it will be the best sponsor of all time. But still i also read about Emirate promising to sign Keisuki Honda for milan last year as a gift but nothing happened. But we will see anyway.

rossoneri sweden

try to find it on tuttosport

Kain

OK ok ok it must be either Ganso, Casemiro, Neymar, or Damiao.
Maybe mr Berlusconi wants to spend a lot, and will get us some extra expensive pro aka Neymar. Dreams, dreams. Anyway he is a strker so it must be someone else :<

Ted

What about Raiolas “summer in London”? Nothing happened so i can’t say this made me smile… Anyway if we are goin to fill non EU slot it should be a midfielder, not attacker… although i would be pleased if this “big hit” would be Damiao:)… But midfielder must be a priority! FORZA MILAN!

Sheva7

Probably tried for Fab but he didnt come then choose Aquaman as his 2nd option

Ted

I was never a fan of “Fabregas to Milan”… He cried his way out of Arsenal, the club that made him like a real Barcelona… We should get Casemiro and for AM maybe try and get Rafinha Alcantara? He is showing promise, cause Eriksen to Milan i don’t see it unfortunately…

thiagosilva86

Barca will never sell iniesta that report is rubbish….neymar recently signed a new contract and damaio might go juve which frees quags to milan.

Manaff

I only hope that it is a good player who will get enough playing time and my guess player is Ganso and Monti. Forza Milan

Dimas

Lets make Intermerda sad when Milan kidnap Tevez LOL

Milanista1899

It’s either casemiro or Oscar…For these two,we are in pole position…
Maybe Ganso but methinks if Ganso comes then Binho replaces cassano and we are set…

Black&Red

Milan in January should get: Maxi on loan, buy Ganso, buy Montolivo, buy Baines, and buy Casemiro or Paulinho. Sell Taiwo to make place for one non EU. So our team in January would be:Abbiati,Abate,Nesta,Silva,Baines,
Casemiro,Montolivo,Boateng,Ganso,Pato,Ibra.

Milan in June should get: buy Balotelli or Damião, buy Dede, buy Sirigu. Sell out Robinho, sell Yepes, sell Bommel. So our team after June would be: Sirigu,Abate,Dede,Silva,Baines,Casemiro,Montolivo,Boateng,
Ganso,Pato,Ibra/Balotelli or Damião.

Sheva7

We cannot sign 2 Non-Eu we already signed Taiwo selling him wont free the place.

Nana

Does it neccessarily has to be a Brazilian player? I mean dis guy has been going to brazil over n over again, i think its time we spread our wings to other countries(like Argentina) a lil bit.who knows there might be better players who fit de bill. Afterall Rui Costa n Savicevic who came b4 kaka werent brazilians n they were both excellent.

Ryan

Rui costa is from Europe

Sheva7

He said that Rui wasnt Brazilian

Sheva7

To Berlusconi
Milan=Brazilian Club
Merda=Argie Club

Sheva7

This better not be some BS.Ganso nuff said
If you sign Casemiro then you’d better sign Eriksen or you’re Dead you hear me you spanish fatso

costas

Ganso or Damiao…???

World Soccer Rankings

It’s Eduardo Vargas, trust me he is the best player in South America. Plus he fits a need for Milan.

Sheva7

The article says he’s on Brazil not in Chile!

bjornmilan

The two brazilians we need is dede and casemiro. I would like to see us sign a trequertista but I actually like boateng in that role. If we get montolivo as well either in january or june that would be perfect.

Sheva7

*likes boateng as trequartista*
GO AWAT NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO >:C!

Tony

i just hope its casemiro/paulinho and oscar.. its all BS when people say hes not ready for italian soccer bla bla, football is football, if the kids’ got talent, play him and thats it.. this could be really big guys, all Milan really needs is a new DM and a AMF and we are set for years to come.. montolivo is just a bonus + he will be free. lets watch and hope for the best

kaka

no more brazilians! we dont realy need anyone right now. only in the summer should milan look for real signings with players retiring/leaving.

danrondo

hmm…here we go again.cant we just sign or not sign without noise and attention. Pls guys dont raise yr hopes yet

Yemeni-Milan

Never never never do I want to see Ganso with ac Milan. Very very very overrated player that’s absolutely not the solution for AMF.

Giancarlo

It will be who we see fit to join the team. Brazilians don’t always work out for Milan… Ricardo Oliveira is one reminder.

Ganso isn’t overrated at all. He’s an excellent player… but his price tag is way too high.

I’m sure they’ll find the right player… and we’ll see.

Nicky

Guys, do we really need a new player in january? I can’t understand what’s this fuss about new players among Milan fans. I’ve read some of the posts and there are guys who want 3 players per transfer window. Remember – this is real life, not FIFA Manager. I haven’t seen most of these brazilians, but since Neymar and Ganso are the best they got, I don’t need to. Aside from Italy, I’ve always supported Brazil and this generation sux big time. We might find quality players from Braida’s list, but none of them would provide more quality than we… Read more »

Giancarlo

Actually yes we do need a player in january. Get real please. And no one is saying this is FIFA manager. Montolivo will leave for free. You don’t have much of a clue about Brazilian players IMO.

Shade45

Kudos 2 giancarlo. Forza milan

Dave

If Raiola and Braida walked up to you as a Brazil youngster, you couldn’t say no….what a lethal combo.

Jerekre

Get a playmaker that all we need.

paolo

juventus will get damino you know our team is good but DMF I think we should try sign yann m vila wow this guy has skill and knows what he is doing….. but ya monti+casmiro wud be nice but lets see what happens

Nicky

Giancarlo, how is it that I don’t have a clue about brazilian players? This is usually the beginning of trash-talk with no real arguments. As I said, some of them might be good, but not better than what we already have. It’s pointless to spend money to just pump-up the bench with no real progress in quality. Fresh examples are Viudez, Cardaccio, Montelongo and Mattioni, all of them labled “promising youngers from South America”, yet we barely saw them.

Giancarlo

We need a player it’s just that simple. And plenty are better then the midfielders we already have. Viudez, Cardaccio, Montelongo are not Brazilians. Mattioni was a flop. I never said there was no Brazilian flops… but therare indeed top talents out there. The Brazilians out there, including Paulinho and Dede are just as good if not better then what we have.
