According to reports in Italy, Milan are absolutely desperate to sell Nelson Dida, but are finding it an impossible task due to the goalkeeper’s astronomical wages.

Dida’s 2007/08 season with the Rossoneri was nothing short of disastrous, and there have been constant reports in the press that he will be sold this summer.

The first half of the Brazilian’s campaign was ridden with errors, including a costly one in the Milan derby before Christmas. The 34-year-old eventually lost his place to Zeljko Kalac in January, and did not feature again for the remainder of the campaign.

This coming campaign, Dida looks likely to be third choice goalkeeper behind Kalac and the returning Christian Abbiati.

With this in mind, it is being reported in Italy that Milan have no space for the 34-year-old and are absolutely desperate to offload him from their wage bill.

Unfortunately, the club are finding it impossible to find a buyer because Dida currently earns an astronomical €4.5m a season, with his contract at San Siro running until 2010.

If the Rossoneri were to release Dida on a free transfer it could cost them a small fortune in compensation. Thus Milan find themselves in a sticky situation over what exactly to do with the former Cruzeiro man.

It is called reality han ... You live close to Italy .. And I am sure you are familiar with the situation they are in.

Being a laughing stock ?! Why ? Milan is the most title winning club in the World !!

Milan is not a midtable club ... it is just that the president of Milan, so happens to be Italy's PM and as such, he needs to keep a low profile, ESPECIALLY with the situation that Italy is in.


Fiorentina are not as rich as you make them seem. And their summer spending is not really something to brag about, but for their standards it is .. BUT they needed to strengthen their squad, because of the CL.


well han, I am sorry you get BS from ppl ... For me, ppl know what Milan is in footballing terms as Milan has been on top of Europe for the past 5 years, making the final every other year!! they don't question these details ... Milan has given you so many reasons to be proud as a fan, I am sorry that you choose these minor details that are unfootball related to put u down. This is by far the club on top of the footballing pyramid!

Even so, Galliani does not need to constantly air out the details of our finances and constantly begging this club and that club to give away their players for free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I don't know what kind of world he's living in but no club in their right minds would go for it.

Face it, it gives Milan a bad name with his constant declerations of poverty, as kurt said, being the most titled club has no standing in this, in fact I find Galliani's constant need to point it out more then tasteless.

And yes Milan have become something of a laughing stock and that is mainly down to Galliani, I'm not just talking about people here in Malta just look around some forums on the net and you can see exactly what I'm talking about.

You can't really compare how we live here in Malta to what is happening in Italy and your theory about Italy's situation being related to Milan's unwillingness to buy is still not proven to be a solid point since whenever Milan make a big purchase no matter the money, Silvio always does well on the political front. A lot of Italians even go as far as saying that R10 is nothing but a political stunt on the part of Silvio.

I would never think any less of Milan just because people talk BS about the club but the fact that Galliani's constant talk in the media Milan are suffering a hit in the public eye. I don't know what the hell our marketing department are doing but I'm sure that if they were smart the would tell Galliani to shut up because Milan as a brand will suffer.

As for Fiorentina, you said it yourself, they are not a club that has the funds to make big money purchases yet they had a mercato that was better then ours, they spent close to €35m on players and they haven't said that their mercato is even finished, us on the other hand have the strong finacial backing and the more lucrative sponsorships and can;t even match them in terms of money spending

Milan is the most title winning club in the World !!

^^ Give it up will ya. If Espanyol were to win the InterToto Cup every year they'd eventually have that tag. And it's stupid, it doesn't even count league titles! The most important thing in football! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
