Milan: Montolivo this summer, Ganso in January?

65

MILAN are planning their moves for Monty and Ganso, it appears.

Milan have made four signings already but the big hit of the market has yet to arrive and is believed to come in late August. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports today that Mr. X could be Riccardo Montolivo.

The contract of the Italian is due to expire next summer and he has already informed his club that he won’t be signing a new contract, which makes him available, perhaps even on cheap.

Monty is a starter for the national team and he has a similar style of play to that of Andrea Pirlo. Milan have ruled him out before because he’s apparently not the type of player Massimiliano Allegri has asked for.

The Milan-based newspaper also suggests that Milan would make a move for Santos’ Paulo Henrique Ganso in January as it would be impossible to land him in the summer because of Santos.

Adriano Galliani and Massimiliano Allegri dropped clues, hinting that the 21-year-old could arrive in the winter transfer market. His price is also expected to go down until then. Milan remain in contact with his agent, Thiago Ferro and he even met with Galliani this week. Danilo meanwhile, seems close to Benfica.

Please NO !!!

Montolivo is not player you get if you aim at CL and SA.

And the thing with Ganso, It’s ok to buy him next summer, when he has fully recovered… He’s getting to hyped…

I think we should spend this summer…

Schweinsteiger, Pastore, Ogbonna and Silvestre would be good buys…

Oddo, Antonini, Bonera and Flamini out.

Strasser and Paloschi? On loan.

Ahmad Al-Hamdan

first of all, montolivo is a great player who has both serie a and cl experience leading his team to beat liverpool and to the knockout stages, and to 4th place 2 years in a row in serie a, he is the creative player we need, plus he comes cheaper than pastore and bastian

Boko

are you out from your freakin mind ? Flamini must stay – he is super sub in midfield , and paloschi – he’s the hair of ibra and our future …

Sub Zero

Three defenders out? :D It isn’t possible.

Giancarlo

Fredrik out of his mind as usual. Clueless. Buy Ganso next summer? By that time, we won’t be able to buy him because we will lose out.

Ogbonna? Please.

And we’re not going to loan out Paloschi.

Montolivo is an excellent player.

Fatte

Spot on!

A HELL NO to Montolivo, the guy does everything in slowmotion, and it shows when he´s under pressure..He´s no Riquelme who can walk and play thnx to his fantastic techniuqe..

My dearest rossoneris, were are seeking to replace Pirlo, Montolivo isn´t worth Pirlos left toe!

elmickio

God Fredrik how boring are you!

How many times has this been mentioned

SupaPippo

Good! Get him! And Vidal :)

zino

we can leave ganso for now,bcos of santos and his injury problem,but keep an eye on him till winter,but i think montolivo’ll mature 2 be a great player in milan,and will be available for a low amount

Reza

I dont know why fans dislike bonera and antonini maybe coz they cant play good but everyone who play 4 milan is great and respect

(enkel)

Have you watched all the match when Bonera plays? if you have, then you must’ve already known the answer! Antonini not that bad IMO, but Bonera is the worst nightmare you ever dreamt in. That guy is a total jinx!!!

Simo

Montolivo is the 2nd best choice after Fabregas. So i’d sign it immediately, if it would be offered.
Ganso will be better form in january, and we would have a solid midfield until then with Gattuso/Van Bommel, Montolivo, Flamini/Emanuelson and Boateng, and maybe sometimes (if he is as good as it seems for many) El Shaaravy/Cassano as a trequarista.

doncristo

y do u hate antonini? Under leo he was great and pickin one or 2 injuries does not warrant u 2 hate him so much. Some day u wil stil say play antonini

Ryan

Montolivo is a much better choice than Fabregas…and he not injury prone plus he’s italian and will be very quick to adapt to our style

Kenny

Get him if is cheap, then get pastore i lik him

azzuri94jkt

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TRUST ME I’ve done it on fifa montolivo is a beast! And then ganso december PLEASE

milanfan

u shuldn’t judge players using fifa……though i do agree u, i bought him too

Jo Milano

don’t understand all this hype about Montolivo… He’s not Milan’s Class for carry out loud!!! He’s an AVERAGE PLAYER!!!!!

chris

you obviously have not watched monty. he is currently Italy’s best mid. He is certainly Milan class. You are probably one of those people that want Bale or Hamsik, both of whom are highly over rated while Montolivo is highly under rated.

paolo

hahaha if motalivo is the big signing then i dont know what giallani means by “STAR” PLAYER OR SILVIO BEC MONTALIVO IS GOOD BUT HE IS NOT A ‘wprld class palyer MEANING HE NOT AS BIG AS sabastian or fabregas ect….

(enkel)

I like him but…the team will not be balance if he and Ganso play at the same time. I prefer him, Ganso, Pastore or whoever he is alongside with someone who has great tenacity.

milanest

Montolivo will be signed in a deal that will seehim moving to Bayern Munich , as Shweinsteiger moves the other way around to A.C. Milan……. This is what is going to happen

Ouch!

Monty totally makes sense. He’s italian who plays in the italian league, fairly young (26), excellent playmaker, and would come cheap as his contract expires next season which he is unwilling to renew, and you could possibly add if fiorentina were to ask for a huge sum of money then we have cassano an urby who both have been linked with them to play around with and lower the amount. Sending cassano to fiorentina wouldnt be such a bad idea cos if u think about it we get monty, cassano gets first team football which benefits the national side :D… Read more »

eteka

get monty now,then maybe ganso in january if he’s available 4 25 mil.

ahmad

NO montolivo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONLY NASRI!!!!

chris

Montolivo is great but the more I see of Ganso the more I do not like him. I think El Shaarawy will show in the preseason and in the Serie A that he is our Trequartista for the present and the future

MoMIlan

Montolivo might not be world class but he has the potential of being one and espacially when playing for Milan beside he is for sure better as a starting player than any of our vertans(ambrosini,gattuso…) and before January the competition wont be that big so it would be the perfect timing for getting Ganso (exactly as cassano and Mvb)

milan man

Why Milan not active to chase Scweinsteiger or Bale..?
Too expensive…???
Or cause Mr Berlu case…?

I dont get it what uncle G tactics to bring world class player or Mr X to Milan…

billy

Montolivo, yes, hes a great player. We wont get him b cause, y, allegri likes playing flamini, seedorf, gattuso, dats y, every1 is sayin seedorf n co wont get much playin time, yer right. Watch dis season, trust me. N wen dis season finishes, seedorf will get another contract extension. N we wont get n e 1 again. Watch closely.

Giancarlo

Do you even watch Milan? I doubt it because you sound like a fool. Allegri isn’t going to be playing Seedorf. You watch THIS season. And you’ll see. You watch closely, and stop being a moron. Seedorf is going to be a utility back-up player this season. Even Allegri has said that.

tiorhy

montolivo’s nice..

ronaldinho1992

milan man

for god sake bale is winger milan doesnt play with wingers schweini would be probably the best sign box to box midfielder strong fast good passing and good in defence and attack

Sub Zero

IN: Ganso

OUT: Oddo, Strasser, Emanuelson, Paloschi

MoMIlan

Bale was a LB before playing as a winger so i believe that he could adopt the position of LCM easily he is fast he got good offensive and deffensive skills still young maybe a bit over rated but still can develop well into becoming one of the best midfielders in the world

Giancarlo

Why would we sign Bale? He’s hugely overrated and overpriced. And Tottenham has said he won’t leave. And signing Schweinsteiger would be extremely difficult… why? Because Bayern won’t let him go.

Montolivo is an excellent option to sign but he shouldn’t be our big signing. He however could prove very worthy for Milan.

Yemeni-Milan

Riccardo Montolivooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yemeni-Milan

I really really want Montolivo to come. He is a fantastic midfielder!!

wiseguy

would u stop posting this on every page regarding montolivo??? It’s getting bloody annoying!

MoMIlan

I totally agree with you its only that modric is close to leave Tottenham so bale would be more likely to leave as he said before i am not a big fan of bale and i for sure not with paying a huge some of money for a player ho wont play by heart for Milan which leaves as back to more like NOT world class players

MoMIlan

And i 100% support getting Montolivo as Pirlo replacement not his quality can adopt better in alegri’s tactics

afiz

i dont think uncle G would get montolivo for us,this player just an average player..Scweinsteiger would be good and great replacement of pirlo..uncle g has promise us that mr.x is world class player..montolivo is not world class player..

azzuri94jkt

Ok on the contrary to my childish comment earlier. Montolivo is highly highly underrated his performance against new zealand says it all, bad game for everyone but montolivo’s effort smashing off the post is just exhibit A of his long range shooting abilities which will become increasingly desirable when u play a poacher like inzaghi upfront who can turn half chances into goals. Montolivo is smart, quick and is a leader. I don’t think you understand we need the ball at our strikers feet exhibit A the disgusting performance first leg cl vs spurs where robinho unnaturally dropped to CAM… Read more »

azzuri94jkt

Pato and ibra* God…typo’s….

SupaPippo

We need Montolivo and Vidal, Ganso in my opinion is not so needed right now as Prince/Shaarawy and also Cassano can do the trick for now. And Cassano will explode with Montolivo their connection is wild!

Pete Acquaviva

OK, here’s what I don’t understand.
Why would we let Pirlo go if we’re planning on signing Montolivo?
He’s not going to be that much cheaper than 3M for Pirlo.
He plays the same role.

Is it because he’s Italian that everyone is so enamored? Or do you guys just want Pirlo back?

We need a mezzala not a deep lying playmaker…

Giancarlo

SEveral things… Montolivo is stronger defensively, faster, and younger. He’s 26, and Pirlo is 32. It’s not just because he is Italian. I like the player too… and I always say quality is more important than nationality. But in this case, his quality is more than enough for Milan.

Milanista

Good. I’ve always wanted Montolivo in Milan. He is something we desperately needed to really compete well. Possession in midfield. You guys do realize we’re not playing with real concrete effective possession in midfield anymore right? That does not work in Europe unless you play anti-football, which we don’t. Motolivo is the key. A trequartista’s main job isn’t to retain possession in midfield, it is to feed the strikers. Right now, a LCM is much more important than a natural trequartista. Even Berlu stated that the thing that he did not like about Milan’s game is that there should be… Read more »

Now Inter,juve,napoli,lazio more strong than last year…how about milan??????? Too slow………we should sign big deal soon!!!

Yehez Kiel

lol inter are stronger? HAVE YOU GONE INSANE?? THEIR GETTING EVEN WORSE!

Giancarlo

Inter, Juve, Napoli and LAzio aren’t more strong than last year. If anything, I think Inter went further down in the gutter with Gasperini. And Juve haven’t signed anyone of note… besides an overrated 27 year old fullback and a 32 year old on a free transfer. Milan isn’t too slow to move. Try again.

None of the Italian teams have signed anyone big.

Shervin

so pirlo has become “a 32 year old on a free transfer”
you dont even say his name, the player who been with milan for 10 years, doing everything he can for the club.

After 1 month you dont even say pirlo, you say a 32 year old.

Thats as disrespectful as it gets. I always suspected that you are a former interita that followed ibra to Milan.

Jump from your window giancarlo.

Giorgi Sigua

@Giancarlo, you kinda have a point but you’re still wrong.
‘Bout Gasperini i don’t know
But…
Juve got—Pirlo, Ziegler, Pazienza, Lichtsteiner and thet almost finalised G.Rossi from Vilareall. That’s good.
Lazio—-Cisse,Klose,Lulic,Marchetti,Stankevicius and cana.Impressive, right?
Napoli got–Inler,Santana,Dzemaili and Donadel and Britos. They now have a whole much improved Midfield and Defense.
Inter got Jonathan and Ricky Alvares(who is extremely Talented)
So this season’s gonna be very tight

Yehez Kiel

juve only got 1 great player.. and while the rest of those players are what they need.. they’re not that great in terms of quality.. at all..

lazio i agree they have certainly exploded on the transfer market.. a serious CL-contender.. maybe scudetto contender too if the have a better CB

napoli besides inler, i feel like they only got squad players..

and inter 1 or 2 signing isnt enough.. especially since sneijder might leave to united..

oh and no offense to you ofcourse, im just telling my opinion to your opinion.. :)

MoMIlan

I am sure everybody needs Montolivo but not as Mr.X and getting him with either Ganso or Pasore is enough

Ryan

U dumb fans check out Montolivo first then decide if he’s good enough or not…..stop being so obsessed with Fantasy Football….Schwein/Fabre ISNT COMING HERE GET IT THROUGH UR THICK HEADS

Jo Milano

Montolivo is an AVERAGE PLAYER!! PERIOD!!!!!! FULL STOP!!!!END OF STORY!!! CAN’T MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN MILAN!!!! WE NEED A PLAYER THAT CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. AND GIANCARLO STOP INSULTING PEOPLE!

Ryan

He’s an Av…Average???? player??……..u must’ve been born blind or only appreciate players who are wanted by everyone…..

Milanista

U GUYS DONT KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT.JUST LET OUR MR GALLIANI AND CO. DECIDES.THEY KNOW BEST….WHEN WE WIN CL FINAL 2007.DID WE SIGN WORLD CLASS PLAYER?!NO RITE WE’VE ONLY SIGN MASSIMO ODDO AND MAREK JANSKULOVSKI…MILAN IS ALL ABOUT CLASS..NOT FORM.FORM IS TEMPORARY..

Gigi

What do you guys think of Honda?? There’s been plenty of names thrown around, but he’s hardly got a mention..just wanted to get your opinion..

Ryan

u r kinda right Milanista! Everyone get it through ur thick heads!

ais

Milanista~CL 2007 diferent than now….barca,madrid,MU etc more strong now…not enough for milan to chalange them…

yusbel

Using A̶̲̥̅ game to compare reality! Lmao!!! If that’s the case,Milan is presently the best club.Play WE and find out.Our defense, attack and midfield is simply superb.And Barca would be scared of us.Seedorf,van bommel & ibra shoots crazy balls.Lol.So my dear,video games can’t̶̲̥̅ be used to judge reality as A̶̲̥̅ player’s form could change.
