AC Milan interested in signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461
AC Milan are reportedly keeping an eye on versatile Olympique Lyonnais player, Michel Bastos, in order to reinforce their defensive ranks.
While the Brazilian remains on a close watch of the Italians, their list is populated with defenders with the likes of CFC Genoa left back Domenico Criscito and UC Sampdoria’s Reto Ziegler. However, the 27-year-old left back, owing much to his versatility, remains their first choice. The player was in excellent form on the weekend as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 by a 3–0 score line.
Milan are currently atop the points table with a whopping 41 points, but the left back position has been the team’s Achilles heel. Naturally, acquiring a quality fullback has become a priority for the Rossoneri management.
Domenico Criscito, who played for Juventus FC before moving to Rossoblu, is also high on the list. The Italian international’s signature will not come cheap and AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has admitted that Criscito’s signature will be very difficult to acquire. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Reto-Ziegler-c30895 is also an interesting option as the Swiss international has earned 21 international caps despite being just 25 years of age. However, reports suggest that Michel Bastos is the primary transfer target for AC Milan.
Bastos has admitted that Lyon have played a huge part in launching his international career. Prior to his switch to the French side, the Brazilian was still uncapped with Selecao. Soon after, the selection committee of the Brazilian national football team called him. Bastos was made to start in the left back position much to the surprise of many, but he did not disappoint and the Les Gones midfielder made his international debut against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in a friendly.
Since the start of this year’s transfer window, Michel has been attracting attention of several clubs across Europe including Italian Juventus FC and Spanish http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Villarreal-CF-c40899. However, for now, the two clubs interested in his signature are Manchester United and AC Milan.
Although Michel has rejected any offers for future stints with other teams, expressing his loyalty to his current club, he looks ahead to the confirmation of Lyons’ qualification in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Lyonnais are currently positioned at fourth place in the points table of the Ligue 1 with 34 points, a solitary point behind league leaders Lille Metropole.
