Who will be A.C Milan’s Mr. X? Serie A feature
The Italian Champions have made it clear that they will not rest on the laurels of last season’s success and have already made early inroads in the transfer market.
Milan won the Scudetto in the 2010/11 campaign and have now set their eyes on winning the UEFA Champions League in the upcoming season. The Rossoneri are looking to strengthen their squad in the summer and have confirmed the permanent signings of last season’s heroes, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Taye-Taiwo-c34728 have been added to the ranks.
However, manager, Massimiliano Allegri, revealed that he will dip in the transfer market for a world class attacking midfielder to complete his summer shopping. The unknown transfer target is said to be a left sided attacking midfielder and curiosity in the Italian media has become such immense that they have linked several names with the Italian giants.
Bettor.com will look at the possible candidates, who might be on Milan’s radar to become their Mr. X.
Marek Hamsik (http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003)
Hamsik has been widely tipped as Milan’s top transfer target and the Slovakian international has fuelled the rumours by admitting that he would http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Love-c22466 to join the Rossoneri in the summer transfer window.
Milan bosses have denied the speculation on numerous occasions but despite that, the rumours continue to take new shape every day. Milan President, Silvio Berlusconi, is known to be a huge admirer of the Napoli star but he revealed in his election campaign at Naples that he will not poach the Azzurri’s best players.
On the other hand, Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has slapped a 100-million-Euros price tag on the midfielder in the wake of Milan speculation.
Hamsik can be an ideal replacement for Andrea Pirlo, who left the club to join Juventus earlier this summer. The former Brescia star is a mature character at a very young age and has everything what it takes to become a future Rossoneri legend. The 23-year-old is considered as one of the most consistent performer of the league and he can easily fit in the trequartista role and can also play in the wide positions as well.
Cesc Fabregas (http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429)
Fabregas is most certain to leave the Gunners in the summer transfer window but the Spaniard is interested in joining only one club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. However, his return to the Camp Nou has been put on hold for the time being, as the two clubs cannot agree on a price.
Reports in the media suggest that Milan are monitoring Fabregas situation and they are willing to wait for his Barcelona move to get faltered. The Rossoneri have reportedly set a 40-million-pound budget to get their target and the amount will be enough to lure the Gunner’s to sell him to Milan.
Fabregas can be a very useful addition to the Milan side, as he has become one of the best midfielders in the modern game. The Arsenal skipper can easily adapt to Allegri’s system, as he can play in the holding role as well as the attacking role.
Ganso (Santos)
Ganso has been heavily linked with a move to Milan for the past few years and is widely tipped as an ideal man to fill in the boots of the club legend, Kaka.
Milan vice-president, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c40446 star and was reportedly preparing a swoop for the playmaker in the January transfer window of 2011. However, constant injury problems of late have dried Milan’s interest in the player and they are willing to wait until the 2012 January transfer window to assess the situation.
The summer transfer window has re-opened recently and it is highly expected that Allegri will resume the interest in his transfer target and will try to wrap up the signing before the club’s pre season plans.
