Milan: relaxed about Witsel. Juve: idea Westermann
As reported earlier today, AC Milan have overtaken Galatasaray in the hunt for Paris Saint-Germain 33-year-old striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic; moreover, the Turkish club’s president Dursun Obzek has confirmed that he can’t afford to sign the Sweden international; this latter has suffered a knee injury and will miss the Ligue 1’s first game against Lille, so that the rossoneri keep on waiting that their former player will ask the Ligue 1 defending champions to leave. Another target for the Lombardian club is AS Roma 20-year-old center back Alessio Romagnoli, as confirmed yesterday by its first team’s coach Sinisa Mihajlovic; before flying to Munich for the Audi Cup, Milan’s Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has declared that the team already has five good center backs but that the transfer window is still open. The rossoneri keep also on tracking Zenit St. Petersburg 27-year-old midfielder Axel Witsel, but, as reported by the Corriere dello Sport, the Belgium international doesn’t seem to be any longer a priority. Finally, regarding the possible departures, 30-year-old midfielder Antonio Nocerino is a target for Bologna. Juventus keep on working to reinforce their team’s defense, and 31-year-old center back Heiko Westermann, whose contract with Hamburg has recently expired, has told Tuttosport that he wants to join the bianconeri.
