La Stampa: Berlusconi puts Milan on sale

Berlusconi is disappointed in the way Milan has started the season, and will soon put Milan on sale, according to newspaper La Stampa. Milan president was widely angry after Milan drew with Anderlecht in the Champions League.
According to the same newspaper, Berlusconi wanted to sack Allegri right after Anderlecht match, but Galliani stepped in and decided to give Allegri one last chance to save his job. Let's not forget Milan has played three games in San Siro scored zero goals and has a stats of two defeats and one draw.
This situation has annoyed Berlusconi who is reported to have said to closer friends:
"If someone is willing to buy Milan, I will sell the club immediately. I feel ashamed the way Milan started this season"
Berlusconi is Milan president for 26 years now, and has won everything. Few seasons ago it was reported that there are some sheiks interested in buying Milan but then Berlusconi rejected any offer to sell Milan.

Benitez agent dismisses Milan link

Yesterday it was rumored that Rafa Benitez is ready to overtake from Allegri Milan's position as head coach.
Benitez has been unemployed since leaving Milan's city rival, Inter. Speculations begin to fire up recently because Milan has the worst Seria A start for 82 years.
This situation made Galliani to publicly back Allegri by saying that Allegri's spot is secure for now in San Siro.
Rafa Benitez agent on the other side was fast to deny all the rumours that link Bentiz with Milan

"It is not true that Benitez has put himself forward to AC Milan," said the Spaniard's agent Manuel Garcia Quillon. But if the Rossoneri should call, he would evaluate the proposal and listen carefully.
If Milan called we'll speak about it because we are ready to listen to everything - and not only from Italy."

Galliani about Hachim Mastour: "We secured Milan's future"

We informed yesterday that Milan bought an extraordinary talented kid, Hachim Mastour. Every coach in San Siro is impressed with Mastour's talent. Reports say that Milan bought him for an amount of £400,000. Galliani was fast to say that the media should not put much pressure on the young attacking midfielder.

"It is obvious that Mastour has great qualities, but yet again he is just a kid and his time is about to come. We shouldn't put him on much pressure. He is Milan's future"- explained Adriano Galliani.
He also added that Mastour need time to learn and mature from Milan legends in San Siro and he should not be bothered by the media.

No Kaka, No Balotelli for Milan

Milan have dismissed fresh links with Kaka and Mario Balotelli by declaring that they need a new defensive midfielder.

“I have many dreams, but seeing Balotelli at Milan will most likely remain just that.As for Kaka, I see his return to San Siro as impossible. They have different tax laws in Spain and we can’t compete with their salaries.”-Vice-President Adriano Galliani stated to Sky Sport Italia.
While ruling out bids for the Manchester City and Real Madrid players, Galliani also insisted that striker Robinho will stay.

“In order to complete our squad, we are missing a midfielder who can play in front of the defence,” Galliani added. “Kevin Constant was signed yesterday from Genoa to replace the injured Sulley Muntari.”

The Diavolo are thus looking for a direct Mark Van Bommel replacement after he opted to return to PSV Eindhoven.

“Our objective for the season ahead is to win the Italian championship and go as far as possible in the Champions League,” the official added.

FLAMINI will leave Milan on a Bosman transfer so Milan will now sign another midfielder.
Flamini’s contract is due to expire in nine days and Milan no longer have interest in signing him as he did not give them answer about the offer Milan made for him, so he’ll leave on a free transfer in the summer.
Adriano Galliani confirmed it. Flamini was offered a new two-year deal with a big cut in his wages (from €4.5 to €1.8 million a season) but he didn’t agree to sign it so Milan will look to sign another midfielder.

“The deadline has passed and we told his [Flamini's] lawyer we won’t be waiting any longer,” Milan Vice President Galliani told reporters on Wednesday evening. “We’ll bring in a new midfielder by August 31. It could be Alberto Aquilani or someone else, as he is a Liverpool player and we’re not in talks with them.

“We won’t sign another striker as we have five forwards, so there’s no need to even consider bringing in another striker.” Milan have been linked again with a move for City’s Carlos Tevez as Robinho might leave.
Milan have agreed two transfers on Wednesday as Francesco Acerbi will join Milan on a co-ownership deal for a reported €4 million fee while Kevin Constant will leave the Rossoneri on loan with an option to buy him out next summer. “Until he [Acerbi] undergoes the medical check-ups I won’t say anything, but he looks healthy!” Galliani continued. “I think Acerbi is an excellent centre-back who can improve further.

NEW MILAN PLAYERS

“We snapped Constant up like a shot once he was offered and President Enrico Preziosi was very nice about it. We already wanted to sign Constant last year, so agreeing with Coach Massimiliano Allegri we decided to get him when we found out about Sulley Muntari’s injury.” Constant is a 25-year-old midfielder.
Muntari is out for 5-6 months, excluding complications, after picking up a knee injury. “It was a bad injury. I’ve never seen this before, a player wrecking a cruciate ligament when on vacation,” the CEO added

Milan thinking about bringing Nesta back ?

The latest informations from web suggest that Milan has offered ALESSANDRO NESTA a new contract. We know that Nesta together with Gennaro Gattuso, Mark Van Bommel, Filippo Inzaghi and Gianluca Zambrotta left Milan last month, but with Galliani saying that Milan will go in a transfer diet, he in fact is suggesting that Milan will sign Nesta for at least another year. Another factor for bringing Nesta back is the status-quo Acerbi situation, Chievo and Genoa has yet to clear the co-ownership situation about the player..

According to il Corriere dello Sport, Milan are considering to bring Nesta back as the center back hasn’t found a new team yet. “Nesta? I have spoken with him, but we’ll see. I offered him a 1-year extension and now we’ll see what happens in our defence,” Vice President and Chief Executive Adriano Galliani said.

“When Nesta told me that he would leave us, I went ahead and tried to sign Acerbi, but now we will see what happens.” Milan already have Daniele Bonera, Philippe Mexes, Mario Yepes and Thiago Silva for CB.

Nesta has been linked with a move to the MLS but it appears that his wage demands are too much for New York Red Bulls who were very interested in him. The Rome-based newspaper also claims that Milan are considering a move for Napoli’s Andrea Dossena who could be released from Napoli this summer.
Galliani said yesterday that Milan will make only two more signings this season and that’s it: one central defender (probably Acerbi but could be also Nesta) and one midfielder: one of Flamini and Aquilani.
