AC Milan’s priority in this phase of the Summer transfer window seems to be the signing of a high-rated attacking midfielder, and, as well known, their main target for such position is 27 year old Keisuke Honda, whose contract with CSKA Moscow will expire at the end of the year and that is trying to convince the Russian club to let him go immediately; the will of the Japan international to join the rossoneri should become decisive, even if, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, the Armeytsy, after the injury occurred to 21 year old Gerogi Milanov, seem intentioned to increase their request for Honda indeed. The Lombard club seems in any case already seeking some alternatives to the VVV Venlo player, like, according to the Corriere dello Sport, Fiorentina 21 year old Adem Ljajic –who has not yet extended his contract with the Tuscan club and is also tracked by Atletico de Madrid, Lyon and Tottenham- or, as reported by goal.com, Bologna 30 year old Alessandro Diamanti. The rossoneri also need a center back, and the right name could be the one of Parma 27 year old Gabriel Paletta, as confirmed to MilanNews.it by the player’s agent Martin Guastadisegno, who has perhaps highlighted that the amount requred by the Aemilian club for his client is exagerated.

Also city rivals Inter Milan are trying to sell some of their players, and two candidates to leave “San Siro” are 21 year old striker Samuele Longo and 24 year old wingback Ezequiel Schelotto: according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the first one could move to Hellas Verona while the Italy international is tracked by Chievo.
