As reported yesterday, AC Milan still hope to sign 27 year old attacking midfielder Keisuke Honda –whose contract with CSKA Moscow will expire at the end of the year- during the current transfer window: as reported by Sky Sport 24, Hiro, brother and agent of the Japan international, and the famous transfer market advisor Ernesto Bronzetti have joined a few minutes ago the Lombard club’s Headquarter, so the rossoneri could make a decisive attempt for the former VVV Venlo player; but, from Munich, Milan’s Chief Executive Adriano Galliani stated that the Russian club doesn’t want to let the player leave, and if it will continue with this attitude there is nothing that he can do. The rossoneri keep in any case to evaluate other options, like Fiorentina 21 year old Adem Ljajic, and, as hihlighted by calciomercato.com, are waiting for today’s meeting between the viola honorary president Andrea Della Valle and the Serbia international. Regarding the possible departures, Galliani himself has declared that 18 year old striker Andrea Petagna is not for sale, and that, for the moment, he had no contacts with Genoa  for same-aged winger Mbaye Niang. On the contrary, according to Sportitalia, both Villarreal and Monaco are keen on 30 year old left back Luca Antonini.
