Milan push for Zambrotta
Reports in Italy are gathering pace that Barcelona full-back Gianluca Zambrotta is a summer target for Milan. The Italian international was close to joining the Rossoneri after the World Cup Finals, but instead opted for a foreign adventure once Juventus were demoted to Serie B. The versatile defender – who can play on both flanks – did have his difficulties in adapting to his new surroundings and La Liga, but denied he was set for another move. However, the Spanish giants don’t consider him untransferable and Milan are looking to boost their full-back options for 2007-08. The Italian giants could potentially have a shortage at the back given that Marcos Cafu and Serginho are rumoured to be on their way out, while Giuseppe Favalli turned 35 in January. Now whispers in the peninsula claim that Zambrotta’s agent, Beppe Bonetto, is expected to hold talks with Barca directors in Spain over the weekend to assess his options. The Camp Nou outfit invested £7m in him last summer and Milan hope that a similar amount of money will be sufficient to bring him back to Italy, seeing that he is already 30. The former Como and Bari player had recently stated that he wanted to honour his Barcelona contract until it expires in 2010. |

It depends on what Berlusconi means by "I've put 100m aside...". If a big percentage of that money is personal (=is not a part of Milan's revenues) then Milan might be able to spend on other departments too. Otherwise I don't see Milan spending more than 10m and it won't be just for one player. Now if Silvio wishes to put his hand in his pocket for that too we could see a new dawn for Milan...

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I agree with you dst, who we get in the summer depends on whether Berlusconi plans to dip into his own deep pockets. If he does, I'd say that Ronaldinho + Zambrotta is not impossible. If they both come we'd probably offer them a package of something like $70-$80m and some fringe players like Kaladze and Oliveira (I don't think Ronaldinho is worth $100m). Not sure if Barca would agree to that though. Dida could even get thrown in there as well, although that would leave us in the market for a new keeper too. But if Berlusconi's saying he's prepared to spend $100m then it's not totally impossible. The article talks about offering Barca in the vicinity of $7m for Zambrotta, which would be a great deal if we could get him for that price. How much did we pay for Oddo? I think it was about $8m and they're about the same age, so Zambro for $7m represents good business in my opinion. As has been said, it depends if Berlusconi is prepared to put up his own money for our summer transfers. |

With E100m + Kaladze + Oliveira + Dida we can get R20 + Zambrotta + Buffon for sure!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
(But I don't wanna be a dreamer, I'm not so sure R20 alone will come...) And then we will also get the Scudetto and Champions League of course. The Coppa is just too hard too get cause of the Merda! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Great calculation... The only thing is I`m not that sure we will get rid of Kaladze that soon. He is a lucky b@stard and I fear he`ll end up his career with us... As for Oli. The only question how much vanity our board posseses. Cause they brought him as "our t-market suprise". The question is, can they really admit their suprise is a flop? And can they do it after just one season? |

And can they do it after just one season? i'm sure everyone can see that oli has been a complete failure and this is only my opinion but he at times doesn't look like he wants to be here, i believe he will be happier back in spain and if he isn't included in any deal with barca i'm pretty sure he'll go anyway |
