ADRIANO GALLIANI and Massimiliano Allegri will meet to discuss the strategy regarding Ganso.
Today, AC Milan Vice President Galliani and Coach Allegri will hold a meeting to decide their stand about Santos’ attacking midfielder, Paulo Henrique Ganso, who has been in Milan’s shortlist for a while.
il Corriere dello Sport reports that they will decide whether to make a move or drop interest in him for now.

Allegri targets double success
It is well known that Allegri’s intention is to sign a left mezz’ala (box-to-box side midfielder), but Ganso would not fit this role as he’s used to playing behind the strikers, where Max plays Kevin-Prince Boateng.
It was reported last week that Santos have raised the price of Ganso – who is currently with 3 Milan players playing the Copa America – to €50m, after hearing the non-EU rule was changed in Italy.
Developments are expected.
bull””””….
50m ? i mean, this guy is good but for 50m you could buy fabregas, schweinshteiger, neymar, pastore sanchez
They are just saying it to keep him. They know that no one with pay 50 million for him. Anyways, his price is “very negotiable” like Galliani said months ago.
50mill is too much
I changed my mind about ganso. he would be unless in milan. The two last matches where he knows he have to shine he has failed. last game – two great passes thats it. no more. Pato also isnt playing good, but we all know what he can do in serie a. so no bad talk about him One other thing with ganso. hes way too SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW damn. Ok the great zidane wasnt fast either, but not this slow. I can name 25 player who are over 30 years old that are faster than him. ronaldo would run faster backwards… Read more »
We don’t need “great” stamina to play in SA, “good” stamina is enough. We’re not EPL. Even your beloved Kaka doesn’t have “great” stamina neither. In SA, all you need is strength and cleverness.
Kaka in 93rd minute ran from midfield in celtic game UCL, anyway, ran from mdifield to goal and slot the ball between goal keepers legs. And saved Milan.
In 93rd min!!
Wheres messi at 93rd? Wheres is Ronaldo, ibra?
They can barly walk anymore, and if they can, they dont want to.
So yes kaka has great stamini and willingness. What ever kaka had, ganso is ten times worse.
Stop living in the past. Kaka did that 93rd minute run 4 years ago. Kaka isn’t the same player he once was. I love looking at the past and remembering nice things, but it’s time to look at the future. Kaka doesn’t have great stamina anymore. He has had knee problems for several seasons now. Even the last two seasons with us he was mediocre at best.
Ganso is ten times worse? What planet are you on? He’s a young player, he can still grow into a great player.
He can grow up how much as he wants. but he will not be faster. The slow midfield has kille us all since kaka left. Milan was famous for a powerful midfield. Basicly its all about midfield in a game.
We have to search for somebody atleast average fast who can help the midfield-attack link which been very bad all season. We won scudetto mainly because of ibra, ts33, abiati. Which is impressive.
Anyway, our LINK between attack an midfield has to be faster than ganso tp be honest.
Sometimes players don’t have to be faster. He can be effective. We don’t need Kaka. Kaka isn’t fast anymore. Hate to break it to you. Kaka isn’t even all that effective. Ganso is fast enough… he is not a slow player. No, Ganso is fast enough, and definitely a very technical player. I doubt you watch very much of Ganso… you make silly statements all the time. And last I checked we won the Scudetto last season. No, not mainly because of Ibra, Thiago Silva and Abbiati. It was all a team effort. Even Gattuso had a hand in it… Read more »
The strategy, huh, to tell milan fans dat no 1 is comin, unless there free. Haha. No all seriousness, i do hope we get som1 n fits in well, hands up for galliani.
@shervin dude you know nothing! Ganso couldve made 3-5 assists in those 2 games combinrd IF neymar could score! Neymar is a crap of a striker! He should play as winger! Pato is having a hard time cause he’s not used to be a CF so I’m not going to bash him.. Ganso is the most useful midfielder for brazil right now!
Ganso is perfect for your slow brain right? Finaly you can follow hahaha.
Idiot.
lol your the dumbasss.. is this too hard for you to understand? retard…
there is like a million flaws in your stupid reply.. but ill just name a few, 1. i never said ganso was fast.. in fact i think he is as slow as hell! but speed isnt the only thing that matters! 2. can you tell me.. deep from your empty brain and heart that if neymar could actually shoot.. ganso wouldnt be bashed alot? exactly.. so stfu..
everybody’s can see in two match, ganso not good enough. Too sloww.. Kaka still on top!!
Give el shaarawy a chance & lets get ribery for LM
€50m??? for that kid??? seriously??? no fucking way!!! we might get Schweini with that kind of amount. €20m, deal or no deal, that’s it!
i think we should wait until jan to sign ganso. for now we shud just get a LM but WHO ??
Shervin
you again are you crazy ganso was the best in last match his easy passing i was watching full match and ganso was play very good for his age and he is inexperinced the problem was in lucas leiva and ramires not in ganso
doesnt matter. hes too slow. period.
Are you on crack? Ganso isn’t slow. You don’t even watch the guy play.
i do think its time for gonso to leave brazil as he is soon 22 yet he had 2 surgeries so its a problem… the problem is santos who won Libertadores and now the price for the players is more then duble.. we soudnt pay more then 15 on him.. for a normal price we can get vidal who is really a box to box MF yet we dont have he is areally good DM and last year use more and more in offance so he can be a fine replancment for pirlo (yet i would like Riccardo Montolivo) if… Read more »
Rene Adler!
why did u just randomly say a keeper’s name?
I want to smoke what you’re smoking DUDE.! :D
no galliani! finish your work 1st! smoking crack later.. :P lol
I think 50mil for slow player is too much…he is good…not for 50mil…come on guyz…i think El Shaaraway would do better both of them r unproven to Serie A
we dont want FC SANTOS we want only ganso so 20 million is enough for him with 50 million we can go for INIESTA
Santos will reduce their asking price in January, but for now Ganso is rather very expensive. It is believed that Galliani would like to bring him on winter transfer market. I don’t understand why a coach want a left box to box midfielder when we already got Boateng. Definitely we are in need of a trequartista. Seedorf, Boateng and even Robinho are ineffective in that role. Can anyone please tell me why the heck Allegry plays Boateng as a trequartista, when it is obvious that he has 0 pecrent creativity and could not even complete a 3 metre pass? I… Read more »
Wow you do realise boateng wants to play as Treq right? He said it himself in an interview : “if ganso comes he will have to fight against me for the trequatista role”
and what does that prove apart from the fact that boateng thinks too much of himself.. Boateng is good box to box player thats it.. he isnt creative midfielder let alone a trequartista.. I know this is going to be unpopular but if i wanted Schweinsteiger and if bayern were willing to deal at 30-35m .. i would instead of cash give them Boateng, Flamini and either bonera or 5m cash watever they chose. Boateng is good but not that good that he is going to win anything big on his own. Ganso and Schweini can do that
Ganso and Schweinsteiger TOGETHER cant win UCL for us.!:D
I like Boateng. He aint a game changer – but I would have him in my team only because he has a STRONG HEART & WILL.!
Future Gennaro
Pato, i abso i agree wit u, no creativity in the mid wit out a pure cam player, dere will b no flow to the attack, Ribery would b good option but doubt bayern would let him go.
Whats your point? If Ganso arrives then it is almost certain Boateng will not play as a Trequartista because he sucks in that role. He is an excellent central midfielder though.
Bilko, yes Ribery is an outstanding player but the problem is with his injuries. Besides I do not think that Munich would let him go. :-)
munich will let him go probably.. but will be around 40m-50m mark which is too much fo him as he is injured alot..schweini would be better but munchen prob wont let him go :P
nowadays football is like choosing the right prostitutes out of the brothel!
it seems at the moment that ganso has herpes..
no Ganso anymore, he’s injury-prone and i see him as a lazy player
Boa will be perfect for that role cos he’s dynamic, i never saw Ganso mark and moreover Allegri doesnt like a lazy 10
the priority shud remain the LMF, that role is vital
imagine a young player like Nasri/Hamsik playing that role where Seedorf flourished towards the end of last season.
ganso cost less than 20
Pls bring in Pastore and Hamsik or Vidal for 45m. Ganso no way for 50m. At least 12m is ok plus Slowdorf and cripple Bonera.
Ibitoye…
dude, STFU..
your beloved “slowdorf” was one of the most important factors…
Against Inter, Sampdoria, Fiorentina, he wasn’t slowdorf, was he? Respect a legend.
While on Boner-a, i got nothin’
You just won a ticket to the derby son.! Great comment. You know Who I am, dont you.? ;)
Daniele Bonera?
box to box midfielder(vidal) in avgust and ganso in january
Vidal is an awesome buy if we can make it.
Milan would do better with Vidal or Schweinstiger. They can create, score and defend well in the midfield!
As for Ganso, well Brazil as a team isnt playing well so its a bit harsh to say that he is not a good player because of two poor games. Remember Messi is an awesome player with Barca BUT totally crap with Argentina. Why?
Simply put, Argentina is playing horrible as a team so it’s even more difficult for Messi to play well. The same for Ganso with Brazil!
You want 2 give out flamini and boateng????
Bastian Sweinteiger can do better than ganso… sweini also he can play in lots position. he fast, good attack n defense, powerfull and had a good attitude. Giovani Dos Santos also the good ones. look when mexico play in copa america. he is good man!
Eh guys sign dis boy pls
ganso would be perfect for us. one of the few true number 10s around. i dont know what u guys are on about. he always tracks back to defend and his game doesnt rely in speed, just creativity and splitting defences which is perfect for calcio. but to be honest i think we will get him in jan, for now we shud get a LM and let boateng be our primary cam. those of u doubting kevin prince in that role, ibra and pato played a lot better with him as cam and he wud always make quick runs and… Read more »
@ Adriano Galliani – I have a question for you.
Why do you love Mr. Berlusconi so very much? Is he your husband? Lol.
LOL Nice question little Pato. I love him because:- 1) He is the most successful president in the Football History. 2) He is the one who made ROSSONERI proud by signing the Dutch Trio, Kaka, Sheva, Ibra, Rui, Weah etc. 3) He Bailed us out when we were broke and were staring relegation and bankruptcy. 4) He may be a womaniser , but damn – he’s a DIE HARD Rossonero. 5) He made ME pay for you son, when you were just 17 and kicking the ball in a park. 6) You my son has grown great BALLS today to… Read more »
…*thinking of what to say*
Ganso not good enough to wear Milan shirt..when i saw him in copa america (2 match), he’s too many loosing ball and very slow, kaka is better than him.
Come on Milan, focus on bring Scweinsteiger, ask to MVB to convince him that Milan is the best team rather than Muenchen…
I hope Hernanes or Ganso will come to Milan
We need a game changer in midfielder either LMF or AMF
What you guys have to understand about a tournament like the Copa, is that these players have not been playing together for very long. The Selcao attack is being TESTED right now. Ganso and Neymar combined have less than 10 caps. While they should have a little better chemistry, it is not surprising that the attack is sputtering. Give it time, that attack will develop into a lethal one. As for blaming Ganso, this is somewhat reasonable, and somewhat unreasonable. It is fair to criticize his work ethic, and what seems like the way he is always searching for that… Read more »
yes i agree.. people critisize a bit too much at ganso.. its hardly fair at all.. if neymar/pato/robinho could have scored their chances ganso would probably be cheered and stuff…
new cycle, we played the same midfield for 5-6 years. And most of the defense has played together for a couple of years now.
only thing new is the attack, and they played together for about a year.
we won’t win the UCL, bc the team is’t strong enough not bc we are in a new cycle.
How is the team not being strong enough different from being in a new cycle?
Last time we had a new cycle we were in the midst of signing Nesta, Pirlo, Kaka etc…
My assumption is that Silvio will splash the cash to get us back in a cycle of making money (from CL revenue, TV deals, shirt sales, international expansion etc etc)
I only critisize about his price! I never doubt of his skills.
I dont get why a lot of people underrate our squad. the saddest thing is that a lot of them are milan fans… honestly speaking, we have a better squad than man.u, chelsea, liverpool, dortmund, lyon and most of the other champions league teams. yes, we lack creativity in midfield, but we el shaarawy now, and who knows, we might try out cassano as an amf, since we have so many strikers. yes, we have old players, but they’re not going to start next season (xcept van bommel, nesta and abbiati).
hernanes and ganso…who is better guyz and Y?
Shervin, Kaka will be always in our heart. Ibra is nothing compared to Kaka when it comes in Champions League. He cannot think of those brilliant goals and crucial assists Kaka made for us in Europe. Ganso should be our first priority. He is not fast nor pacy, but imagine how great it would be to see him play behind Pato and Ibra, Van Bommel and Boateng supporting him from behind. That would help Ganso to flourish. He and Pato would be so deadly, it would be a alike that golden era when Sheva and Kaka used to play together.… Read more »
But that’s the past. Is Rui Costa in your heart too? Or do you not care about him? I guess you weren’t a fan long enough. Kaka was great in the Champions League… four years ago.
We need to move on. Ganso is not about pace, but rather technical skill. But that doesn’t mean he’s a slow player. He’s not.
If we can’t get Ganso, I would rather get Vidal and play him as a trequartista… where he is very effective.
So you mean you choose to pay 30-40 millions for a playmaker who is all about technique.
Rather than find somebody else cheaper, easier to get, a playmaker with techique AND who are fast.
Thats not impossible. Name one?
Ok, Lucas from sao paulo. Really promessing.
Yes, actually I Would.
Then start naming someone. Lucas isn’t good enough. And he’s not that fast of a player either. I doubt you watch very much of Brazilian football. You’re completely ignorant. And you keep saying Ganso is slow… and that’s a pile of BS. Ganso is fast.
50?? No thanks, santos can go and fuck themselves, would rather get vidal for under 20million
This ganso distraction has really taken our attention away from signing quality players on cheap, e.g sahin. The earlier we forget about ganso, the better for our mercato
The form ganso is in is terrible, i would nt pay 1p 4 him. This is my first time ever seeing Ganso play and he is FUCKING AWFUL, no skill, looses the ball,and mainly never tracks back and helps the defence, judsan would b better than him.
Gallani i no u will make the correct decision and not pay that hopeless piece of shit.
Shut the fuck up.
JADSON!!
Some people here are completely embarrassing. You describe players as “pieces of sh*t”? What the hell are wrong with some of you psychopaths? I’d like Ganso or Pastore… right now I’m leaning more towards Pastore… but to say that Ganso is “fucking awful” and a “piece of sh*t”, shows how disgrace some of you excuses of Milan fans are.
Shame on you embarrassments. And quit suggesting Kaka. He’ll cost 30 million easily.
Heheh lol very funny Mr. Galliani. So tell me about one very personal thing of yours. Sorry to ask but tell me sir are you a gay? I know its a silly question, but do let me know otherwise I would screw your lovemate’s daughter even harder! :-)
you fans need to stop fighting/arguing. ill admit some of u make really ignorant comments, but giancarlo you have to stop talking to the other fans like they dont know anything. look the bottom line is most of you have watched ganso for the first time, he honestly isnt even 100 % fully fit yet(same with pato, remember the shoulder??) but copa america is such a prestigious tournament to them so they pushin to play. and secondly, gansos game DOES NOT rely on speed, more like technical creativity, creating space, killer passes, dropping back to start plays etc. he would… Read more »
All these fans must be new or sth miskng Kaka….
does anyone remember a guy named PIRLO? slow as shit but amazing..
