AC Milan: still keen on Cerci. Inter: Alvarez leaves
The news item was in the air, but now it’s official: 27-year-old left back Pablo Armero and 32-year-old goalkeeper Diego Lopez are two AC Milan players; the Colombia international has joined on loan from Udinese, while the Spaniard has signed a four-year-deal. Meanwhile, as anticipated yesterday, last night the club’s president Silvio Berlusconi and Chief Executive Adriano Galliani have met the first team’s coach Filippo Inzaghi: as reported by Sky Sport, Galliani is pushing for the signing on permanent basis of Queens Park Rangers 25-year-old Adel Taarabt, while, regarding the team’s flank, the rossoneri’s number two prefers Shakhtar Donetsk 23-year-old Douglas Costa to Torino 27-year-old Alessio Cerci; on the other hand, as outlined by calciomercato.com, Atletico Madrid have definitively left the hunt for the Italy international, while the Piedmont’s club Urbano Cairo could finally let the player leave if Milan would offer 15 million euros plus the ownership of 29-year-old midfielder Antonio Nocerino, actually at the granata on loan; perhaps, as outlined by La Stampa, the former Fiorentina winger risks not to take part to Europa League play-off against RNK Split. If Cerci will leave, Torino will swoop on Inter Milan 24-year-old Rubèn Botta; perhaps, another Argentine player could leave the nerazzurri -26-year-old Ricky Alvarez.
