AC MILAN will look up for reinforcements in the summer, but not before that according to the Rossoneri vice president Adriano Galliani. Meanwhile, the reports suggest that il Diavolo want to sign Ederson and Bastos from Lyon.
Leonardo wants to strengthen the defense and the attack in order to face a good competition in Champions League and Serie A, and the address for these additions could be Olympique Lyonnais, France.
The former French champions are holding a big talent but have no big names in the squad. Lyon have a good ensemble and apparently, AC Milan have put their eyes on two of them.

Agent: Milan Cannot Afford Losing Kaladze
The Rossoneri are looking to add a defender to the starting 11 and it seems like they have turned their intentions to Michel Bastos, but nothing will happen until the summer.
Bastos has been very impressive in Ligue 1 this season since signed there from Lille in the summer. His good performance brought Milan to monitor the 26-year-old Brazilian and his agent calls for offers.
“Yes, Michel is being followed by a number of top clubs in Europe, including Italy,” Bastos agent, Duro Ivanisevic told Calciomercato.it.
“However, it is impossible for him to leave Lyon in January. He [only] arrived last summer and is happy there.
“There is a Champions League to play for and then he hopes to go to the World Cup with the Brazilian national team. “This is no time to think about these kinds of things, but anything can happen after the World Cup.”
“But Juve and Milan didn’t contact me last summer,” insisted the representative. “However, we did have talks with a few Spanish sides before he signed for Lyon.”
AC Milan will also try to sign Lyon attacker, Ederson. The 23-years-old can play as attacking midfielder or a winger. Milan have crossing problems, and according to reports, they hope to resolve it with this player.
However, according to the player’s agent, the Rossoneri will face a stiff competition with Inter Milan for the services of the Brazilian. Still, Adriano Galliani insists no-more signings for Milan in January.
“I don’t know if Ederson will move in January, it’s probable,” Antonio Caliendo, Ederson’s agent told TMW. “Let’s wait and see. AC Milan and Inter Milan are keen on him, but some Spanish clubs are also interested”.
David Beckham and Dominic Adiyiah are sure signings and they are the only signings according to the vice president. Galliani has promised a striker from abroad. Asked about Luca Toni in January, the Chief said:
“We have three strikers.”
But he retains his promising, but says that this striker will come in the summer.
“It’s true. I said that a new player would arrive with similar characteristics to Pato and Ronaldinho, but we are talking about next summer, not in January,” Galliani explained on leaving a meeting of the Lega Calcio in Milan.
Milan have Marco Borriello, Filippo Inzaghi and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as center strikers. It this means some-one will leave?

Important players. I wish Bastos will arrive. Ederson is great too. But who will leave? I hope not Huntelaar
Luca won’t come. We don’t need anyone. we have good team
Bastos! Ederson! COME. No-one will hopefully leave.
Forza Milan. I like the team the way it is. Beckham and Adiyiah are enough, even though Ederson e Bastos are great
ENOUGH! Play with Zigoni or Di Gennaro if you want a refresh, don’t bring Ederson for it. Baston would be good for the Rossoneri
What do you mean 3 strikers, we have 4, Borriello, Inzaghi, Pato and Huntelaar. Don’t sell Huntelaar, we don’t need Luca Toni. Use Zigoni and Di Gennaro. Why always Brazilians. There are other great players also.
I really don’t care just do not sell Huntelaar.
@Jay Zeneros Yes, but Pato is like a winger. So we have three. The Duck is a forward unlike Pato, Huntelaar and Pippo
Bastos is a must in January. He would be cup-tied but he’d surely play a massive role in our Serie A campaign. We should look at getting someone like Joao Moutinho in the summer and keep Seedorf and Pirlo on a rotation scheme kind of thing. He could be the next Rui Costa!!
