Summer mercato 2012
AC Milan are monitoring Real Madrid's pursuit of Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.

Mediaset says Milan are preparing a bid for Real midfielder Sami Khedira, who could be squeezed out of the first team by Modric's arrival.

The Rossoneri are ready with a €10 million bid, but everything will depend on Real signing Modric.

Khedira has been frustrated at Real over his limited defensive role under coach Jose Mourinho.

According to footballitalia, Taiwo is in Kiev for a medical with....u guessed it! Kiev!!

Dzeko, Sahin, and the Montpelier defender would make this mercato good for me. Good, not great, but I doubt we will see all 3 arrive.
I LOVE MILAN
Strange. I believe that Mourinho values Khadira very much. I do not see any merit in that rumor.

I too would like to see Dzeko and Mbiwa joining. I don't mind Sahin, but his seemingly lack of interest bothers me.
I would be very happy with Kaka, Sahin and Mbiwa! We already have enough defensive midfielders, we need more creativity instead. I think with these three signings we will have a more creative/quality squad comparing to 2004. when we had Kaka, Seedorf, Rui Costa, Rivaldo and Pirlo.
Then we would have El Shaarawy, Robinho, Cassano, Kaka, Sahin, Montolivo, Emanuelson, Boateng, Constant...also Nocerino more creative than Gattuso and Muntari also have some creativity!
I think this squad would be faster and more creative comparing to the squad with Ibra!!!
Also we have got 62-65 million from the sale of Thiago and Ibra, and we would spend 32-35 million for these three players, and save 30 million euros plus some wages!!!

If we sell Cassano then Tevez or G. Rossi would be a good substitute, but we do not need Matri!
Taye Taiwo is reportedly on the verge of a Milan exit after flying out for a medical with Dynamo Kiev.

The Nigerian isn’t a part of boss Massimiliano Allegri’s plans at Milanello and he has been made available for transfer.

The left-back moved to San Siro last summer on a Bosman from Marseille, but quickly switched to QPR in January on a loan basis.

Taiwo, according to Sky Sport Italia, will move to the Ukrainian club on a temporary basis at a cost of €500,000. Dynamo will have the option to sign him outright for a further €2m.
Nicolas N'Koulou doesn't look bad, unfortunately I haven't watched enough Marseille games too make a decision between Mbia and him both look tall and strong both should support Mexes at CB, I hope allegri goes with De Sciglio at WB and us fiddling with Antonini,Mesbah,Bonera is over

Haven't seen much of any of them. Nicolas N'Koulou is non-EU player which makes Mbiwa more attractive.
Goal.com Wrote:The sale of star duo Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain, coupled with the arrival of just one high-profile player in the form of Riccardo Montolivo, has prompted many pundits to write off the Rossoneri's title hopes, while some San Siro season ticket holders are even seeking refunds.

However, Galliani is of the opinion that last week's 1-0 victories over Chelsea and Schalke has underlined that Milan are still a force to be reckoned with.

"In less than a week we have beaten the reigning European champions and the team ranked third in the Bundesliga," he declared. "This confirms the fact that we have a good squad available to us.

"[Daniele] Bonera is proving himself to be a great defender, while the defence is holding up well.

"In the attack, the fact that we did not give so many points of reference makes us dangerous and unpredictable; midfielders like [Urby] Emanuelson are linking up well.

"But obviously the most important thing is always the spirit with which we deal with things."

Some Milan fans are still hoping that the club might yet make a major splash in the transfer market but Galliani, who recently argued that Italian sides are no longer in a position to attract the game's biggest names, has ruled out any major investments.

"The top players, I have already said, should not be bought, but created," the Monza native declared.

Here comes the pain Devilcool
We got the young 'un's. We take out big gunz  Devilcool
Latest rumour from milannews is we're prepared to offer 7.5m for Mbiwa.

I always get the impression that Galliani talks to try stop player prices getting inflated. Clubs know we've recently gotten a lot of money and they will want to get as much of it as possible when we go to get players. These comments to me seem a reaction to that, essentially suggesting that the money isn't there for us to spend.

Khedira for me offers more than what we have at the moment. As well as being a quality player, he's also more central rather than a shuttler and can play in front of the defence, something most of our current group can't do. He won't direct play in deep areas though, so to me that's one concern. I read we might be prepared with a 10m bid should the Modric deal go through, which is key with much of the press thinking that deal will push Khedira out.
I dont get why would Mourinho want Modric over Khedira.

But I dont really care, if that means we could get our hands on German. While not WC, he is certainly better than Traore, Muntari or Constant.
