AC Milan have been urged to sign French striking sensation Karim Benzema by respected football agent Claudio Pasqualin.

The Rossoneri are really struggling in Serie A at the moment and are languishing in 12th position in the table, a gigantic 25 points behind league-leaders Inter.

A key reason for these struggles has been a lack of goals, with Milan only scoring three times at home this campaign.

Filippo Inzaghi has not scored in Serie A since January of this year, Alberto Gilardino has still failed to convince that he is capable to play at the highest level, while Ronaldo has made just one appearance this season due to injury.

This has led to reports that Milan may look to sign a striker during the January transfer window, and Pasqualin believes they should move for Lyon star Benzema.

"It's hard to find the right reinforcement for a team that does not need it,” Pasqualin said.

“The Frenchman, however, would increase the potential of any team."

The 20-year-old Benzema is widely regarded as one of the most explosive talents in European football and he is admired by a host of European giants, including Inter, Juventus, Arsenal and Real Madrid.

Robinho..when he started off and Madrid purchased him? He was the next Pele!!! At least Pato is being compared 'only' to Ronaldo!

I'm talking about post-Galacticos era! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) that 'the next Pele' hype belongs to Perez and co.

Oh, by the way... Yoann is the next Zidane! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Pepe, Diarra, Marcelo,...
It's not about Real Madrid. It's about the whole concept. Look at Lyon, they allways do that with their players, and very rarely it pays out. Frank Ribery from Marseille proved to be better then every single highly rated expensive player from Lyon for the past 4 years. Ok, Bayern also had to pay,...

And why do you mention Pato???? You honestly think Milan leads the way with hyped players? O for G sake,..it's the first hyped player we signed since Gilardino (and his hype wasn't that bad; we've all seen him play and were impressed). Why do we need point out that Milan does the same, even when it's not the case? This has nothing to do with looking through rosy glasses, this has to do with the reality, mostly,..

They weren't hyped as much as Pato. what did they say about Marcelo expect that he is R.Carlos' successor? [and in fact he IS Carlos' successor. I'm really impressed with his games this season]. Diarra... he was a great player even when at Lyon, I haven't seen so much hype around him, and he is no 17-18yo either (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) . Pepe was signed for an exaggerated price, but at least he's proving he's got something to offer.

As for Pato, I never said we lead our way with hype, because we don't even sign hypeable (!) players that much. I've said this before, I'm gonna have to say this again: Pato is really something special! perhaps I've seen him play more than any of you, but it's not a matter of having talent, it's a matter of putting too much unfair pressure on him. our management have gone TOO FAR in their hype and it can ruin his career just as much as it ruined Yoann's [the next Zidan hype]. that's it.
