Galliani shoots down striker talk:

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani believes that they do not need to sign a new striker after Willy Aubameyang’s excellent performance in the Trofeo Berlusconi.

The Rossoneri defeated Juventus 3-2 on Saturday in what used to be a traditional August meeting thanks to a late goal by the 19-year-old substitute French hitman.

“Vincenzo Iaquinta? Antonio Cassano? Ronaldo? No thanks, we already have Aubameyang,” said Galliani to Milan Channel after the match.

“We will make no new signings in our striking department – if we decide we need someone else we will move the youngster to the first team,” added the official.

Milan have recently been paired with Iaquinta, who is valued at £8.5m, and reports suggest the Rossoneri turned down an offer from Real Madrid to sign both Cassano and Ronaldo.

“We have found a left-back in Leandro Grimi in January, who is sure to improve, and we are trying to bring Massimo Oddo to the San Siro, but that is where we will stop.”

Milan are waiting to hear what Marco Borriello’s fate will be, as the striker failed a doping test in November and will probably be suspended by the Disciplinary Commission.

“If Borriello will be suspended we have Aubameyang, who is the top scorer for the youth side and an excellent player,” concluded Galliani.

Oddo therefore remains the main target in the January market, as he recently confirmed that he is considering a Rossoneri offer, although his wife would prefer to remain in Rome.

It's ok for me, I think it's good we use players from our youth system. Hopefully Aubameyang can prove himself. But that said, if Oddo is our only target, then at least I hope they can get him. If Milan really want him, then they should be able to get him.
