Milan: Initial contacts with Real Madrid for Lass?

69

MILAN HAVE already contacted Real Madrid and initiated negotiations for Lassana Diarra reportedly.

Milan will be signing a central midfielder this summer – a regista – as this is the one type of player that is missing in the Milan squad before it’s complete according to Vice President and CEO Adriano Galliani.

The Rossoneri have been linked with a number of players including Kevin Strootman, Nuri Sahin and Fernando Gago but it appears that Milan are checking the option of signing Lassana Diarra of Real Madrid.

According to today’s La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan chiefs have already inquired on Lass and initiated the negotiations. It’s believed that the 27-year-old who is also wanted by Premier League sides will leave Real Madrid as he has a contract with them until 2013 so they’ll risk losing him for free if they don’t sell now.

“It’d be difficult for Lassa to play in Italy because he still has a year left in his contract with Real Madrid and he has an offer of importance from the Russian Spartak Moscow,” Lass’ Italian agent Claudio Vigorelli said. Milan tried to sign Lass last summer but he did not want to leave Jose Mourinho’s Los Blancos at the time.

Meanwhile, il Corriere dello Sport suggests that Milan could also consider Xabi Alonso who can leave Real Madrid this summer as Mourinho would want to use Nuri Sahin – another possible target – next season.

xabi alonso? Ha ha ha, dreamers.

poseidon

i dnt like dat lass.

Mainz

B&G wants milan 2 attacking kind of ball but they keep searching 4 DM what an irony,well it might since other club wants him,as 4 flamini let him pitch his tent somewhere else his tackles ur horrible,its likely he going 2 get a red each time he tackles a player

vicnasnaija

of course.not suprised.we always go 4 d cheapest in the lot.wats wrong wit getting veloso instead.we can work out a deal with Genoa 4 christ sake.

Lass is great. I am also a real fan and I believe that lass is stronger defensively than Khedira and Sahin. He’s not much offensively though. He can also play very well as a right-back which provides cover for Abate. And he is only 26 which means he can play for at least 4-6 years at top level.

Ahmad Al-Hamdan

ya right as if madrid would sell their star cmf

Rico

nuri sahin, veloso and astori and we ar complete

sell mesbah, taiwo, robinho

promote some primavera players

Nyemasem

We need veloso and sahin not diarra b’cos he reject to play for us last season.

Saman R

yess!!!! another dmf allegri must be over the moon

Milanest

No to diarra unless a good visionfull midfielder arrives too. Alonso(no way) plus he is 30.

Milanest

Sahin and any DMF,preferably Sandro or Strootman.

Pato

I want Nuri Sahin only.

Mainz

Allegri is an awful coach he keeps good players on d bench n gives awful players time 2 play i wish he was fired

Mainz

Allegri is an awful coach he keeps good players on d bench n gives awful players time 2 play,bonera,mesbah,antonini,mexes robinho ambrosini,these players sucks, i wish he was fired

Kolo

Xabi Alonso is perfect… But it ain’t gonna happen

Milanista121

Between Alonso and Sahin, I would go for Sahin, even though Alonso is better, at the time, I just can’t picture him in Serie A. And regarding Lass… we’re after a Regista…someone who can play infront of the defence, sure we can play Lass there as well, but that’s not his real position! I’m sick of it, if we’re getting him and playing him in the Regista position, like playing Emanuelson as a trequartista…-.- so a big NO to Lass, and a big NO to Gago who has been rumoured as well, we should get Sahin if we’re looking at… Read more »

Trade them Tai-who?He couldn’t even make Milan starting cut,so logically speaking…what is he going to do there?

Milanista121

It was just an idea, Madrid was after him when he was a free transfer, but he decided to join us instead, so they know who he is… but like I said, it was just an idea.

Y7

That was before they got Coentrao. Madrid are now linked to Modric of Tottenham. So, maybe we have a shot at Sahin.

Don

I dont think Sahin will come. I mean we are looking for a MVB replacement and Sahin is not that guy he is a deep-lying playmaker while MVB was more of an Anchor man and his main duties were breaking up play of the opposition. Sahin isn’t that good at defending. So we will go for players in the mould of Lass(defensive ones). I prefer Strootman who is good at defending, technically good and can spray passes around the field.

milanfan

FIFA agent Salvatore Arena believes that there’s a good chance Tymoshchuk joins Milan.
Kaka’s father is in Milano right now, and is expected to meet with Galliani next week. (CdS)

Milanest

No to 33 years Tymoschuck…. All(new signings) under 30 pls!!!!

Nyemasem

Sahin,strootman and veloso will be perfect for milan.

Habib jari

Yes lass we need him!

milanfan

imo, this should happen:
OUT: Mesbah, Taiwo, Robinho, Stras*ser (on loan)
IN: Sahin, another midfielder or striker(Insigne)
Promote: Carmona and Innocenti (if striker arrives) or Comi (if midfielder arrives)

Milanest

Totally agree…. Let’s hope

sammy

Sahin only

Luke

I am reading Milan may sigh Modric – anyone hear anything about this? I think he would be good for us.

milanfan

if he does come, it would be totally awesome. however, due to his price, and Milan’s finances, i sincerely doubt it.

Jerry

Only in our dreams, modric is a WC player something we cant afford anymore.

sammy

Where did you get the news from about modric

Habeeb

Milan needs a DMF beta dan Diarra

1five1

modric? Really? Chelsea’s 40 million bid was rejected. Au much is milan willing 2 offer. (maybe 6 or 7mill. Or maybe loan with an option 2 buy). Wake up dude.

Milanest

Modric no way unless berlusconi goes crazy!!!!! We all know we don’t have the funds but for players worth<10m

ysae 2 ekam a loof

Actually it’s good to have a player like Lass,because teams in Europe are now too physical and every team employs a guy in the mid to be a COG in the WHEEL. Lass if plays to his true potential is a good addition for Milan. If we can have Monty and Boa playing beside him .We will have a very strong midfield. So Cassano Ibra Pato can think about racing forward and scoring goals. Monty should dictate the tempo of the game. Boa/Nocerino should move up and assist the front line. TSilva Acerbi Abate & Urby can focus on defense… Read more »

what about Allegri attitude? What don’t you like about his calm decent attitude?Everything Allegri this…everything Allegri that…Allegri w-w-w-hat?

ysae 2 ekam a loof

You are right Opinion VARIES!!!!!!!

kelvin

Modric??????? Hahahahah, who died and told you those news in a dream?….I have never heard anything about that..totally false!!!

Nyemasem

Modric…..hahahahaha. Stop dreaming b’cos he is not mediocre and cheap.

Massimo

Why not use Strasser? Or Hottor or Pele from primavera
They are young, extra energy and extra motivation.

Forza Milan..

Pa ibra

i think milan will sign Gago because Madrid need him least. milan transffers being stressful since Allegri was appointed. Dinho, Merkel, Pirlo out. Taiwo, Emanuelson, Muntari… ect inn. and maybe Gago will come or someone worse.

milanfan

Dinho, Merkel, Pirlo out, Ibra, Robinho, Emanuelson, Didac, MvB, Cas*sano, Montolivo in. How is that stressful? btw dinho was sold because he had discipline problems, pirlo was let go of because he can’t play properly in 4-3-1-2 and because he wanted a longer contract and more guaranteed playing time than was offered by Galliani.

Opinion Varies

You guys just don’t seem to get your facts right.Always typing glib comments to dis-inform the general public…

Thank God Milanfan was able to explain the issue much further why those two left…!

Mz adamu

Only sahim wil be the solution to milan not lass diarra 4rza milan

jovan

So now we want Lass why oh why?Muntari,Constant,Ambrosini,Nocerino,Boateng,exept Boateng all of them can play pretty desant as a dmf and all of tham including Boa cant pass a good long ball or a thru ball if there life debend on it they all have power and no tehnical abulity exept Boa who has some but nothing special,we need Sahin, Alonso,stroodman anubody that can hold and pass a good ball wuld be ok come on Galliani dont be stupid like Alegri use your head like in 2002!

Opinion Varies

I think the person who needs to use his head is no other but YOU.You keep crying,lets get Sahin,strootman,Veloso etc..but have you stop to think for a second on how they are going to come to Milan?Those players don’t come on the cheap-and seeing how broke we are Milan won’t be able to afford them.

Alvi

Barnetta Adler Astori And Sahin Sell Robinho Get Matri We r Complete…

jose

Can someone explain me what a regista is, I always thought it was a CDM but now with all this comments that diarra can’t play there you have confused me

milanfan

as far as I know, a regista is a deep-lying playmaker, like Pirlo. He plays in the CDM position, but is mainly used to supply the forwards with accurate long balls, and to dictate the play.

Benjo

Regista means someone who can play in front of defence
i think lass is not the best option but he’s better than gago, lets hope this rumour is just because of good relationship with real madrid, i hope we sign better and younger regista and next year we sign lass for free :D

Aj...

FTW let’s rob a bank !!

ink

sahin please only sahin.

dredd

gago and sahin. Mid should look like dis sahin lm, monty cm, gago rm. Wow.

Dejan

i say give Taiwo to QPR,+ some cash and get Taarabt for god sake.Forget about Lass,Alonso and others who come from real[the team i hate the most].Monty can play as a regista.

sidixon

evn swap Rob plus Cash 4 Modric or beta sel Cas plus Taiwo n Mesbah

Afanofmilan

^ dude dat wont even happen on fm .

Afanofmilan

Whose barnetta ?

Afanofmilan

Whose barnetta ? I tink d adler ship sailed a while bak . N matri ? Wow .

Afanofmilan

Dinho was indisciplined,old n had high wages . Also was inconsistent . Merkel tbh hasnt been dynamite n strasser is a yunger muntari .

jovan

Varies you are a Alegri lover and stop trying to prove evrubody who doesent like him wrong,we dont have to bye sahin,strootman or alonso but we shuld not waste money on players when we allready have 3-4 with the same caracteristics and play in the same position!and milan will save a lot of money just on wages compering to last season they shuld invest at least 10-15m cos we havent spend 0€ on transfers it was all loan or free.

TWF

i am not impressed with milan current signings for 2012/2013. the management did not seriously think about winning CL. the signings (traore, montolivo, gabriel, acerbi, constant (loan) are not for competing at CL level. don’t expect too much, guys. imo, juve have signed better players.

dredd

milan oh milan. Galliani we gotta hav our own stadium. To that buy players. 50m, quality world clas players. Win the seria a, coppa italia, and the cl. Then build ur own or buy out the san siro, com on. We cant win anything with these players

Opinion Varies

Who said we can’t win anything with the set of players we have?
Abbiati
Abate-Silva-Mexes/Acerbi-Urby
Lass
Nocerino-Montolivo-Boateng
Cassano
Ibrahimovic-Robinho/Pato/Sharaaway

If rm get modric , witsel , or javi garcia ,sahin wud bcome surplus to requirments. Lass too
