Leonel Vangioni has come to terms over a move to Milan but it remains to be seen if he will arrive in January or in the summer as a free agent.

Milan continue to work in the transfer market and although it’s clear that they need to sell before they can do anything, Adriano Galliani is trying to secure deals.

River Plate President Rodolfo D’Onofrio revealed yesterday that “Milan have sent a written offer to Leonel Vangioni. The lad needs to stay at River until June, then he’ll be free to go wherever he wants because he’ll be available on a free transfer. At best we’ll organize a friendly by way of compensation.”

Vangioni, who Milan have been scouting for a while, is a 28-year-old Argentine left-back / wingback, who has spent his entire career playing in the Argentine Primera División for Newell’s Old Boys and River Plate. He has an Italian passport so he won’t be considered a non-EU player if he arrives.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, there is already an agreement with Vangioni’s father / agent and all that’s missing is a deal between River and the Rossoneri. It’s unclear if Milan will bring Vangioni in January or in a few months when his contract with the 2015 Copa Libertadores winners expires. Di Marzio reports that in any case Milan have asked River for permission to conduct the medical soon.

Sky also reported last night that Milan are more and more convinced by Ajax’s Anwar El Ghazi and if they can’t bring him in January then they will try to make another move in the summer.

WITSEL ELGHAZI VASQUEZ RUGANI IS THAT MORE REALISTIC

Levano

in my opinion SES would be better. Miha is a good coach and he can make SES star again. what we need is CM and CB. 2 CMs would be better but less likely. as things are going Nocerino, de Jong are on transfer market and Mauri might be loaned. Monto needs to leave. so that leaves us with 3 CM: Kucka, Bertolacci and Poli. all of them are more of a great sub material rather than starters. so Witsel and Banega should be our ultimate goal but as Zenit are in UCL we should focus on more creative player… Read more »

Levano

or buy high class now and keep Paletta when Alex retires

BleedRedAndBlack

Witsel is unrealistic for this January window. Same for Vazquez. Rugani will not be sold to a direct rival by Juve. Only El Ghazi is realistic.

Levano

does it mean they don’t trust Calabria anymore? Antonelli is the best wingback and i don’t think MDS will leave. Abate had few bad games but not that bad to sell him, in my opinion. i don’t like signings like him. always think that kind of players will become new Nocerino, Zaccardo….

misund

What are u talking about, calabria is a right back som is abate and de sciglio. We only have one left back and that is antonelli. Would be a good backup. And we need one

Levano

MDS was switched to LB if you hadn’t noticed during Antonelli’s absence. he can play on both flanks. if you look at our wingbacks we have 1 that can play on both flanks, 1 LB and 2 RB. so MDS is practically LB because of Calabria. so getting a new LB would mean most likely Calabria will get even less time. and do you even watch Argentine’s league when talking about solid back-up?

Misund

Yeah you see how that worked out. De Sciglio was one of the top talants in the world at right back. now after playing out of position for two years he is crap. and the fans hate him for it. But its not his foult. This is how you destroy a boy with confident and on the way up. Everyone can play in every positon if the coach put them there. thats not the point. he is NOT a left back. he is a natural RIGHT BACK. This is what happened to honda as well. playing crap. he never played… Read more »

Misund

and Calabria is 19 years old. and has not realy impressed.
http://www.whoscored.com/Players/260498/Show/Davide-Calabria

He needs time to develop. I dont think anyone ever trusted him to be a starter, rather give him some space when the time is right. Like when we are leading vs smaller teams etc.

ted

Is he any good?

Lawcee

Another waste of transfer, another free transfer, another mediocre. we need good central defense and a good defensive midfielder to replace monti. Also another creative midfielder that will reduce stress on Bonaventura.

Nicodab84

Mediocre? Have you seen him playing? I have, he is not a top 10 Lb , but he is very good! For free would be amaizing, specialy because MDS cant play that well on the left flank. Btw he is defesively more solid than antonelli.

will

MENEZ LACAZETTE
EL SHAARAWY. Ben arfa

BONA. Witsel

Anto Roma Rugani mds

Donna

Rosso138

Oh just stop that, lacazette wont come, ben arfa also… Rugani is not for sale.. Be realistic..

Mikey

Comment:vangioni is a decent leftback just like antonelli,he is not a mediocre and not a bad move either

ACTito46

But we Do Not need him. We have other problems

misund

He is fred and we need a backup for antonelli????

Mojdanis

yes we need left back,antonelli is the only left back that we have and as sure as hell we need another one

Pelle80

109 appearances for river plate,one copa sudamericana,one copa libertadores…a very good cv in my humble opinion. But mr.Galliani, our main problem now is the midfield. Even a child learning how to play knows it that our midfield is full of uncreative players,we need midfielders not wingers…we need atleast two cbs and not a left back. Thank you!

BleedRedAndBlack

Vangioni has been playing more recently as winger than a wing back. so I guess he would be definitely a good back up to Bonaventura. He can cross and dribble but his videos in you tube shows him to be pretty poor in defense. as far as back up for a 29 year old antonelli is concerned I would prefer someone younger, like Adam Masina who did well against us at San siro or Abdul Rehman Baba who was great with Augsburg but now rotting at Chelsea.

Some Guy

Next Emanuelson smh.

Pouriya

Common Galli! Who are you looking for?! Don’t you know what we have needed in our team?!
You just looking for nonsense!

numeroUno

The things i concern about this player are his age and his salary (because he is free or will be much cheaper than his transfer fee). He is 28 y.o. and if he gets big wage because of no transfer fee, than it will cause problem if he doesn’t perform well. The club will be stuck with him just like happen right now with our dead woods. I suggest use the money to buy a worldclass midfielder and a defender, please Gailani please we all beg u. If gailani love this club he stop doing this kind of transfer because… Read more »

Till there is Galliani in charge, Milan is going to be the same shit as for the last 8 years. More mediocre players for free won’t change this. pathetic.

Rosso138

We are linked with LB, RW, ST…

And what we need is CM, RM and a CB… That makes no sense at all…

Levano

RM is RW in our formation

ilkapitano

Get get jemerson as cb

dami

I think galliani is managing Milan like he is playing football manager..

nick

Agree 100%. It’s signings like this why GallianI has to leave Milan. Milan will never return to a big club with him at the club.

Phildadon1899

Get ready for his big coup at the end of the window, 20 million for some reject from Genoa. Hes gotta line his pockets

ZeR0W1

Even worse. He’s managing Milan like a complete NOOB playing football manager.

Ouch!

We already have Antonelli who is a great player for the LB position. Damon u Galliani.

Jibola

Galliani is proving yet again that he’s a sabotage.

Misund

Its not what we need the most but it would be a usefull signing. But Milan should focus on the CB/CM position first. then they can get as many backups they want after they have a solid fundation.

CB and CM positons are the core of the team and we simply have no core.
Its like a rocket without fuel. we got the engine but we have nothing to run it.

Ciaran

Absolutely …. Those are the positions that form your foundation. If that’s weak you can never build a solid team. We did well getting Romagnoli, but we need a solid partner for him and then of course we are dying for a better central midfield … Ours is absolute shit. But … Montolivo being Captain makes this even harder.

Misund

Yup, the sad fact is we only have two holding midfielders in monto and de jong and both are not realy up to the task, some will say De jong is better and others Monto, but none of them have proven to be able to dictate the game from the center, so to me it does not matter who plays and until we get some who can do this job we will struggle for both hold on to the ball and create from the back. we have like 5 box to box players in midfield for some strange reason(gallianis using… Read more »
