Zambrotta is Milan target
Monday 25 June, 2007
Barcelona full-back Gianluca Zambrotta is once again being paired with a move to Milan by reports in the Italian Press.
The world champion was one of the first players to leave Juventus after the club’s demotion, but failed to adapt to his new life in Spain and his first season in La Liga has been far from enjoyable.
The defender was already close to joining Milan after the World Cup last summer, but his transfer failed due to the Rossoneri’s involvement in the Calciopoli scandal.
Barcelona are closing in on Eric Abidal of Lyon, who is expected to leave the French champions for £8.5m, and his arrival could free Zambrotta to vacate the Nou Camp and return to Serie A.
Reports suggest that negotiations between Milan and the Blaugrana could start soon, as the French Press expect Abidal’s move to be officially announced in the very near future.
In the meantime, the European champions are also following Parma midfielder Luca Cigarini, who might become Andrea Pirlo’s heir in the Diavoli midfield.
The 21-year-old, who is also a reported target for Juventus, could join the San Siro outfit in a co-ownership deal with the Ducali, allowing him to gain more experience at the Tardini before moving on a permanent basis.

That would be great!!
As for the last part, Cigarini never really impressed me. Milan know better that's for sure but I'd rather see Montolivo or Aquilani take up Pirlo's role in the future!
Forget about it Barca, you can try, but u'll fail miserably
