Milan To Swap Gila For Borriello?

Latest reports emanating from Italy suggest that Milan will swap Alberto Gilardino for Genoa’s Marco Borriello in a one year loan exchange.
Gilardino’s days at Milan have been numbered for quite sometime now following a third hugely disappointing season with the club.
Borriello meanwhile has been a revelation this campaign, and his 18 goals for Genoa currently make him the Capocannoniere in Serie A.

The 25-year-old is co-owned by the Rossoneri, after they sold half of his contract to Genoa last summer.

At the end of the season Genoa and Milan are due to discuss where Borriello’s future lies. Latest reports suggest that he will move back to Milan on a one-year loan deal, with Gilardino going the other way in an identical deal.

At the end of the 2008/09 campaign it will then be decided whether or not to make this arrangement permanent.

Meanwhile another player who is seemingly on his way out of San Siro is Christian Brocchi. The 32-year-old could move to Sampdoria in return for Paolo Sammarco, who is also currently on a co-ownership deal with the Rossoneri.

Sammarco has impressed this season for the Blucerchiati, scoring five goals in 25 Serie A appearances from midfield.

I agree with most of what Porty said in the post above this one. The only disagreement I have is that I'm remaining optimistic that Milan really will sign someone GOOD this summer. Maybe I'm seeing things through rossoneri-colored glasses, but recent statements from Don Silvio lead me to believe he's actually taking this transfer window seriously.
