AC Milan: Essien unlikely to join. Inter: D'Ambrosio farther
AC Milan keep on seeking a midfielder, and, as reported yesterday, one of their targets is Chelsea 31 year old Michael Essien: interviewed by calciomercato.com, Fabien Piveteau, agent of the Ghana international, has declared that his client will certainly quit The Blues, and that he has been contacted by many clubs, but not from Italy; another option as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, remains 26 year old Fernando Francisco Reges, whose contract with FC Porto will expire at the end of the current season. Moreover, the rossoneri new coach Clarence Seedorf, who in the last season has been playing for Botafogo, is very attentive to the Brazilian market, where, according to the Corriere dello Sport, he is thinking about Atletico Paranaense 24 year old forward Ederson Silva, and his former team’s 19 year old defender Doria. Still regarding the defense, Milan, as reported last night by Sky, are also thinking about Ponte Preta 21 year old Cesar Henrique Martins, also tracked by city rivals Inter Milan.
The nerazzurri keep on seeking a new wingback, and their main target for such position remains Torino 25 year old Danilo D’Ambrosio: as reported by Tuttosport, the negotiation is actually on stand-by, as the Lombard club is not so sure to yield to the granata 23 year old attacking midfielder Rubén Botta; the agent of the Argentine has told TS that coach Mazzarri would like to keep his client, but that the final decision is up to the club.
