AC Milan: keen on Kolarov and Kaka, doubts about Ibra. Inter: Handanovic has signed
As reported by the Corriere dello Sport, AC Milan are still hoping to sign their former star Ricardo Kaka. The Brazilian forward, who has refused the offers received from China and the U.S., will try to convince Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho to let him join the rossoneri. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan are also ready to make an offer to Manchester City for 26 year old left back Aleksandar Kolarov, but they must first sell Taye Taiwo and Djamel Mesbah; Benfica seem ready to offer 5 million euros for the Nigeria national. On the contrary, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has denied that 22 year old striker Andy Carroll is not part of his plans and has declared that at the moment there have been no contacts with the Italian club. The real problem for the rossoneri, remains, in any case, the situation of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It's probably not a coincidence that the Lombard club Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has declared that the Swedish ace for the moment will remain but that the transfer market is still long. The clubs that can afford to sign the 30 year old are Malaga, PSG and Chelsea, but Ibra is not attracted by the Boquerones and the other two clubs prefer to invest in younger players.
The news item was in the air, but now it's official: 27 year old Slovenian goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has left Udinese to sign for Inter Milan. Still regarding the new signings, from Brazil, Sao Paulo midfielder Lucas Moura has confirmed that his father and his agents have been contacted by the nerazzurri and that Inter would be an agreable destination. Also president Massimo Moratti has talked about the 19 year old, and has said that he still hopes to sign him although he doesn't know if it will be possible in the immediate. Moratti has also talked about the situation of 27 year old forward Giampaolo Pazzini, who has declared yesterday that he is not part of the club's plans and that, according to the Corriere dello Sport, could move to Juventus. The nerazzurri president has declared that the situation of the Tuscan forward is not so dramatic and that a solution will be found. Also the situation of 24 year old defender Andrea Ranocchia is not easy: the player seems intentionned to leave if he won't have a concrete chance to start in the next season.
