As reported earlier today, the future of 33-year-old center back Philippe Mexes, whose contract with AC Milan is about to expire, remains uncertain; on the contrary, as outlined by calciomercato.com, the rossoneri are ready to extend the deal of 28-year-old right back Ignazio Abate, who is perhaps a target for city rivals Inter Milan and for Juventus: the player’s agent Mino Raiola and the Lombardian club’s Chief Executive Adriano Galliani have found an agreement to extend until June 2018 the contract of the Italy international, who will earn 2,5 million euros per season. Milan are also dealing with the situation of 31-year-old forward Robinho, currently on loan at Santos: according to Lancenet, the Brazilian club’s president Modesto Roma Junior is flying to Italy to convince the rossoneri to leave the former Manchester City player at the Peixe; in the negotiation could be involved 18-year-old forward Gabriel Barbosa Almeida, aka Gabigol. Who will certainly leave “San Siro” are –according to the Corriere dello Sport- 33-year-old goalkeeper Diego Lopez Rodriguez, 27-year-old winger Jeremy Menez and 28-year-old attacking midfielder Keisuke Honda. Despite the declarations recently released by their Chief Executive Giuseppe Marotta, Juventus are evaluating the possibility to sell their midfielder Paul Pogba: according to the British bookmakers, Manchester City are the most probable destination for the French starlet.
