Milan push for Fabregas
Saturday 11 October, 2008
Milan are looking to the future with bids for Joao Moutinho and Cesc Fabregas as well as hiring Ruud Gullit as a talent scout.
Andrea Pirlo’s injury has ruled him out for two months and this has again shown there is no real tactical replacement for him in the deep midfield role.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, the club is already looking to next season with an attempt to solve this quandary.
They have locked their sights on to Sporting Lisbon star Joao Moutinho, who has a contract until 2013 and an expected price-tag of £20m.
Moutinho is an attacking midfielder who has been transformed into a playmaker in front of the defence.
However, the ideal candidate to reinforce the squad next season is Arsenal star Fabregas.
He had already been tempted into a move by Real Madrid, but currently remains in the Gunners line-up after winning Euro 2008 with Spain.
Milan are planning for the future by looking to the past, as legend Gullit has been hired as a talent scout for the club.
The Dutchman will watch over the North European players to find the best new prospects for Carlo Ancelotti.

I can't see Fabregas staying at Arsenal for long but I doubt he would choose Italy over Spain. I don't like his style of play and I don't believe he's as good as some suggest. I'd look elsewhere...
By the way, isn't it (waaaaaay) too soon for fantacalcio?
