Inter: duel with Juventus for two players. AC Milan: "no" to Man. City for Thiago Silva
Three players could leave Inter Milan in the next weeks. According to the Corriere dello Sport, in fact, 33 year old Serbian midfielder Dejan Stankovic is already in talks with another club, probably from the United States, while 31 year old defender Cristian Chivu, according to Romanian rumours, could move to Ajax or to Galatasaray. Moreover, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, 30 year old Brazilian right back Maicon could be offered to Manchester City to obtain 27 year old Dutch defensive midfielder Nigel De Jong. According to the same newspaper, despite the imminent signing of 30 year old forward Rodrigo Palacio, the nerazzurri have not lost their hope to sign Napoli 27 year old Ezequiel Lavezzi, and a meeting between the two clubs is expected in the next days. Finally, Inter are ready to challenge Juventus for two players: according to Tuttosport, the nerazzurri have joined the Italian champions in the hunt for Pescara midfielder Marco Verratti, while the bianconeri are keen on Torino defender Angelo Ogbonna, one of Inter's main targets for the next transfer market.
After yesterday's meeting with Manchester City, AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has declared to Milan Channel that both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva are not for sale, as well as Pato. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the English club, to obtain the Brazilian center back, have offered Mario Balotelli, but the Italy national could be signed only as part of a negotiation that would include Ibrahimovic, not Thiago Silva. The same newspapers reports that the rossoneri are ready to challenge city rivals Inter for Palermo defender Matias Silvestre, while, according to Gianlucadimarzio.com, to obtain 23 year old defender Francesco Acerbi, actually in co-ownership between Chievo and Genoa CFC, Milan could offer to one of the two clubs 22 year old striker Alberto Paloschi.
