DAVIDE SANTON has admitted that he would consider leaving Newcastle for a move to the Rossoneri.
The left back position has been a problem for the Rossoneri ever since Paolo Maldini retired but this season it seems that Milan have found solid solutions as both Kevin Constant and Mattia De Sciglio have impressed so far in this position.
There were rumours in January that Milan could sell Ignazio Abate to Zenit and invest the money in Davide Santon of Newcastle but that never happened as Zenit and Milan couldn’t reach a deal. Santon says he’d welcome a Milan move.

“I’ve heard of the interest from Milan in me and that is really pleasing. I’m really happy in Newcastle. I like the city, the club and the atmosphere. I’m also engaged to Chloe and we’re expecting a baby in May,” the 22-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport today. “I live like a king in Newcastle and I have a contract until 2016. But that doesn’t mean that I’ll stay here.
“I’m not sure what would happen if another Italian club came in for me, but I’d seriously think about packing my bags for Milan. I owe Inter a lot. I was happy there, but it is not my fault that I was born as a Milanista… If Balotelli and I are still friends? Well, when paths diverge the contact is a bit lost but we are friends of course. In England we talked every now and then and in the national team we immediately found a common understanding. I’m happy for him, I see him more calm.
“Balotelli is more mature now. The decision to return was an excellent one for him. The fact that I can go back to playing with Mario (at Milan) would be an extra incentive. Otherwise we’ll challenge each other as opponents,” added the Italian fullback.
Seriously dis is an amusement park or something close to it? Santon better than Abate!!!.. Abate aint an average player and he had to learn how to defend meanin he is adaptable and flexible add lightening fast..I think he is a rare talent believe it or not he is needed in Milan
