Daniel Osvaldo’s character doesn’t fit in Milan plans, but they are after the left back Manuel Pasqual of Fiorentina.

Galliani said Milan have too many players in the squad and it’s clear that they will have to sell before buying (as always).

The Rossoneri have found an agreement with Bologna over Riccardo Saponara for a loan deal with buy-out option but the Italian, who has been included in the squad to face Torino tonight, has reported asked for some time to consider their offer. Serie A’s Atalanta and Sassuolo also want the midfielder who has been of little use.

Niang, who is said to be starting the bench tonight, is also on the list of players Milan would like to send out while Gazzetta claims again that Marco Van Ginkel could return to Chelsea. The newspaper also specifies that Michelangelo Albertazzi and Zaccardo are prepared to reject any destination.

Milan are of course trying to sign a striker and Mattia Destro is the leading candidate. Silvio Berlusconi gave the go-ahead to try and sign the Italian forward but Gazzetta writes that during the meeting between Inzaghi, Galliani and the President at Milanello, they agreed to reject Daniel Osvaldo (owned by Southampton) who was offered to the red and black club by his agent as they don’t want a character such as Osvaldo in the dressing room of Milan.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina’s 32-year-old left back Manuel Pasqual is on top of Milan’s fullback list. His agent claimed that he’s only heard about the Rossoneri’s interest from the newspapers. Pablo Armero, who is set to start ahead of Mattia De Sciglio, might end his red and black adventure.

“The newspaper also specifies that Michelangelo Albertazzi and Zaccardo are prepared to reject any destination.” Albertazzi… He should go on loan or to help in primavera… (altrough i dont see much talent in him…) He is not ready for 1.st squad Zaccardo… Oh for god sake terminate his contract… He recives cash, and rots on bench… Not worth anything… And doesnt want to leave… He really pisses me off… Pasqual – what the actual f… Another zaccardo… Oh help us god… Speaking about youth project and then go and buy 32 year old fiorentina player… Lol… And I also read… Read more »

Giancarlo

Rami was injured a while.

rosso138

Oh… Tnx for the answer 🙂

john sambou

Why is galliani going in for another dead wood pascual BS

liri

we don’t need a left/right back. we have abate and de sciglio that are very good’ and armero on the bench. how the hell they think pasqual can re[lace de sciglio or abte?!
what we need is a center back because mexes and alex is too old and are strating to be less good than before, and a cm like wistel who is a great option.
but what we need the most is a striker, destro is promising and good, but osvaldo is not.

rosso138

Yeah, but armero is not Milan quality, and we cant have only 2 (good) players for 2 positions.. They need healty competition… If you know that you are only one for the job, and how ever your form is, you will play, why bother playing 110%? And in case of injuries who will play? Zaccardo on RB and Bonera on LB? Lol… I freeze even thinking about that xD

Giancarlo

This is right. Maybe Criscito doesn’t sound so bad right now.

As I’ve been saying Russian teams are in serious financial problems right now.

And then there is also Antonelli… but is he another Antonini lol?

rosso138

Criscito sounds better… And we were interested in him not a while ago… Him and witsel in our team woud be… well… decent.. and what about murru for cheap?

pippo

You know what’s really sad? It’s sad they even thought we would consider a player like Osvaldo. That goes to show what kind of players we were buying lately. Do you think that Osvaldo was offered to man city(since they asre short with strikers),or some other top club for that matter?Of course no….

mayor

Inzagi not gallani wants pascual

Giancarlo

We are actually after Santon from what I hear. Galliani doesn’t want Pasqual. This site needs to use more up to date information.

MilaFan

The Pasqual rumour is from today’s GdS. The Santon rumour is from Tuttosport. It’s all rumours in the end of the day and the fact that it’s on Milannews.it’s Primo Piano doesn’t give it any extra validation.

Giancarlo

This Pasqual rumor has been recycled several times. I saw the Santon rumor on Calciomercato too (Not just tuttosport).

rosso138

Santon rumor circles around for few mercatos… And he constantly say that he dont want serie a move…

Booker

Milan should find a natural left back coz di siglio His not & Armero doesn’t help as much as he should. We need Real Madrid ( Marcelo ) type kinda player

Giancarlo

Coentrao I think.

rosso138

I think that he would be great addition, and we might get him on a cut price deal…

Giancarlo

Yea he never plays at Real and we were linked to him this winter. He can be a loan deal with option to redeem I think.

henriano

we seriously need a left back cos the rate at which de siglio form is declining is worriesome,he cnt cross he mark he’s bcome very slow in tracking back. i seem to prefer armero to him this days
.

Chicopepsi

Why pasqual and not the argentine guy from river plate or coantreao or just train desciglio well in that position he is young he still can develop in LB

Giancarlo

I like Coentrao for sure.

That Argentine guy… is Vangioni right? He’s 27 and like 7 million euros… I think too much.

We should try for Matis Kranevitter if we want a River Plate player.

Chicopepsi

Yes bro idk why they stick to those italian players. I bet there are a lot of players in south america or africa better stronger faster and younger than the old almost dinosaur like pasqual

Chicopepsi

We are almost losing by a mile the race for nastasic our objective is not signing players that inter want we do not need to beat inter we just need to beat ourselves and be better and better until winning champions league again

lentini

vangioni would be awesome, if the videos are even a hint of his ability. pasqual is too old. likely no pace in his legs, experience? maybe. bonera is old too and experience hasn’t improved his skills.

edmond

Milan need to change everything from Berlusconi and everything tonight it was the most boring game I’ve ever seen milan didn’t have a shot on target I’ve been milan fan for 20 years we just getting players for free not good enough we don’t deserve to play in champions league

MJ23

Sorry, but I think that Milan should stop buying so many Italians. At the moment there are not to many young and talented players in italy. That is sad, but true. We hoped to get something from Aquiline, Saponara, Poli, El Shaarawy, now Destro and Cerci… I really like El Shaarawy, but he is not world class! But it is not just Milan’s problem. Juve and Inter have the same problems. And that is the reason why Tevez, Vidal and Pogba are the most valuable players in this Juve (plus Pirlo who we gave to them), Pjanić, Gervinho and Nainggolan… Read more »

Giancarlo

You’re right.

Baselli might be good though. Might as well pick him up and see… as long as he’s not too much.

Looks like Suso is coming sooner rather than later.

elizabeth

seriously pasqual? is it a youth program being executed or what? the guys is 32 and i don’t see him boosting our team at all. he is just another zaccardo!! couple of last years we wasting money for useless players. don’t go over there once again.

abe

All this talk about new players but I still can’t believe we bought Matri. WTF. and his price tag…

shevchenko_

milan wont invest thats clear. milan must switch to 4-2-3-1 formation as we lack quality midfilders. lopez-de scilo/abate-rami/mexes/zapata/alex-de scilo/armero or santon (if we swap him with niang from what ive read) montolivo and de jong as starters poli and anoter new one (basseli maybe young and decent) as back up SES and menez on the left honda and bonaventura as a 10 and suso and cerci on the right. the problem remains with the strikers we must get one Great Striker and still have a decent back up (not pazzini or matri of course). That means we must get rid… Read more »
