Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Boateng, Van Bommel, Emanuelson and Didac Vilà. The large majority of the latest acquisitions have been done abroad. Taiwo's arrival along with the rumors about Ganso and Witsel seem to be confirming Milan's tendency, even if Galliani could make an exception for the to-be-acquired inside player who could be Italian.

In Prandelli's Italy there are two interesting midfielders for sale: Riccardo Montolivo and Alberto Aquilani. The former has already declared his intention to not renew with Fiorentina (his contract expires in June 2012). Therefore, his registration cost is much lower and Milan could do a bargain, perhaps including Cassano in the negotiation. Aquilani's situation is more complicated as he's owned by Liverpool and on loan to Juventus, which now have Pirlo.
