Zamparini claims he'd be happy if Vazquez was to join Milan

Just for nefremo, looks like Tuttosport (
) is linking us to Mammana:

For those wondering who Mammana is:

It's a rumour that certainly interests me. I've avoided commenting much on the guy because I haven't really watched him, but the couple of games I have seen he was a very interesting prospect. His technical ability to play the ball out stands out, as well as the timing of his tackles. My concerns at this point would be he's yet to physically mature (he's only 19 though) and there were times where I'd like to have seen him be a bit more physical with opponents.
Even if we get him, we need at least one other CB for next season, possibly one as a starter, given Mammana's young age and lack of experience in Europe. The worst thing to do is bring him in and try and push him to immediate success.
Our current CBs are Romagnoli, Zapata, Alex, Mexes and Ely. Thing is, only Romagnoli at this point is pretty much set to stay. Zapata, Mexes and Alex all have contracts running out, while there's probably a good chance Ely is loaned out.
I'd obviously keep Romagnoli and would try to renew Alex and possibly Zapata, giving Ely an opportunity to go out on loan and grow. That would leave two spots open in CB (I wouldn't keep Mexes), one which I'd want filled by Mammana (or a player of similar ilk) and the other spot I'd push to try and get Tonelli.
Tonelli's tough, got decent passing and has been playing to a high standard in Serie A for a couple of years now (since Empoli got promoted). He's a useful guy to have because he's got some leadership qualities for the backline and can help younger players feel a little more at ease, as he takes on a lot of responsibility. He's also only 25, so should have his best years coming up ahead of him. I don't think he is or will be a world class defender, but I see him as a good complimentary partner for Romagnoli, as he was for Rugani.
Tonelli, like Mammana, will cost around 10m. For 20m we could get both, which realistically we need and we could lineup with Romagnoli, Tonelli, Mammana, Alex and Zapata next season. That looks pretty good if you ask me.
Edit: Beppe, as much as Thiago Silva would add a lot of quality to the backline, I just wonder about his availability, cost (minimum would be 20m imo) and the fact he's a very short term solution.
