It's in here. A brazillian website, saying that Milan is after him.

They're saying that Milan consider Sobis > Tevez (for me they're =), so they are going to Brazil after him on the next days.

This is today's new in Brazil.

Oh men, this transfer would be HUGE. Inter wanted him last year... but they got nothing.

He plays TODAY the 2nd leg of the Copa Libertadores final, that is the Champions League final of South America. I'll watch the match. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sorry to say this guys, but I highly doubt Milan are after Rossi, Tevez or even Sobis. That's just media speculation. I really hope I'm wrong, cause I wont of them more than you do.

Well, actually there hasn't been any rumour about Milan wanting Rossi, just that Rossi wanted to come to Milan, so I'd say the chances of him being a Milan-player for this season is about 0%.
Torres is a confirmed interest, and has been for a very long time(2-3 years), but I just can't see that deal happening. There's just way too many factors standing in the way.
Tevez is another player that I feel is a long shot. Can't see that transfer happening either, but then again there's still 2 weeks until the window closes and absolutely EVERYTHING can happen until then.
Then we have Sobis, which I actually believe is a valid rumour. Leonardo's great contacts in Brazil along with the similarity of Kakás transfer 3 years ago, are the things that make me believe the most. Plus, the proposed Ronaldo-deal has probably fallen apart, which I think will see Milan chase after Sobis.

Now, this is of course only my own thoughts and speculations...



@Diavolo:

I think you're underestimating the quality of this Milan-squad. To buy those kind of high quality attackers and having players like Sobis and Huntelaar on the bench for most of the season as you're suggesting, would just be wrong. And then you want to add Ronnie to those players? It would create disharmoni like h*ll within the squad.
In the future we surely need to buy some defenders to replace Maldini, Costacurta and possibly also Cafú but don't forget we have a lot of quality defenders already, even if some of them are closing in on retirement. I'd love to get a player like Gallas this summer, but if we didn't, it certainly wouldn't be the end of the world.

R you sure it wouldnt be the end of the world ?! Last season was a demonstration of how weak our defence looked like .. It wasn't up to par w/ what we have come to know as the solid Italian defence. Do you honestly think that the likes of Bonera and Favalli can keep Ronaldinho, Henry, Adriano, etc .. quite, not to mention Shevchenko .. ??

I think it would be the end of the world of 'competitive competitions' .. If we go on with (hurts to say this) Maldini and Costacurta as our reliable duo.

I like the Nesta and Kaladze partnership, but it's a long season and you never know what might happen as the season is long ..
