AC Milan: also Bendtner and Hernandez for the offensive line. Juventus: sprint for Poli
Seeking a forward and a defender to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, AC Milan, for the first position, have offered, according to Tuttosport, 10 million euros to Juventus to obtain 27 year old Alessandro Matri. Such amount is considered unsufficient by the Serie A Champs, who require at least 15 millions. Another target, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, could be Arsenal 24 year old Nicklas Bendtner, last season on loan at Sunderland, while, as reported by the Daily Mail, also Tottenham are keen on Internacional de Porto Alegre 23 year old Leandro Damiao. On the contrary, interviewed by SpazioMilan, Vincenzo D'Ippolito, agent of Palermo 21 year old Abel Hernandez, has declared that Milan would be an agreable destination for the Uruguay national. Regarding the defense, according to the Corriere dello Sport, while FC Porto 26 year old Rolando is waiting for an offer from the Lombard club before accepting to sign for Fenerbahçe, the rossoneri are keen on Montpellier 23 year old Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
Juventus keep on seeking a striker, and are still waiting for Arsenal 28 year old Robin Van Persie, even if the Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has declared today that he wants to keep the Dutchman. Regarding their other main target, Fiorentina 22 year old Stevan Jovetic, the bianconeri, according to Tuttosport, are counting on the fact that the player doesn't seem too happy in Florence. Everything will probably be decided next week when the Montenegro national will meet his actual club's honorary president Andrea Della Valle. Moreover, as reported by the same media, the Serie A champs have not renounced to the idea of signing 21 year old Mattia Destro, actually in co-ownership between Genoa and Siena. The two clubs already have an agreement with AS Rome, but Juve have made a better offer to the player. The situation will probably be decided next monday, when, according to Sky, the capital's club will meet the agents of the Italy national. In the mid-time the bianconeri could enforce their midfield by signing Sampdoria 22 year old Andrea Poli, as admitted to calcionews24 by the Ligurian club's Sports Director Pasquale Sensibile.
