Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o met with AC Milan powerbrokers in Monaco on Sunday.
Cameroon ace Eto'o was in Monaco for the Formula One Grand Prix and while there he was spotted in deep conversation with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and transfers chief Ariedo Braida, says El Mundo Deportivo.

Eto'o is being considered by Milan as a replacement for Chelsea-bound striker Andriy Shevchenko.

i would like to see Eto`o in Milan !!

I guess Suazo is more and more edging towards Milan as days gone by.....

No news on Tevez?

Not hearing anything now. I think Corinthians might have temporarily priced him out of the market. The owner says he wants almost 100 million euros for him and supposedly Chelsea offered them 32 million euros and was turned down. And with Galliani saying they won't be bringing in a big name player to replace Sheva I think that pretty much closes any chance for him to come to Milan this year anyway.

Despite what he (ie Galliani) has said, or is purported as saying....I still believe we will spend BIG this summer to aquire a replacement for Sheva, and an understudy for Kaka.

I guess Galliani is only joking, 'cause it's painly obvius that we MUST replace Sheva with someone of the highest caliber possible.

GRE-NO-LI...this unaccustomed optimisim is causing major rainfall in Jamaica, and may lead to flooding...kindly revert to your more pessimistic self, and stop affecting the global weather patterns...its Hurricane season you know!!!!

"Highest caliber" and "big name" aren't necessarily the same thing. You might want to get used to the sound of "David Suazo."

Cagliari accepted 10mil bid from Milan for Suazo, but the deal is not over yet. Suazo is concerned he will not be a starter in Milan and doesnt want to come at any cost, he wants to evaluade the situation more. WE can sign him and I believe we will wait for Juve to go down and then go for Zlatan.

and Galliani didnt say that he wouldn't bring a big name player at all. He said he'll do it only if it'll benefit the team's playing style. That's why he ruled out RVN and Drogba.

It depends on which quote you go by, the one in the papers or the one that was on the Milan website. It also depends on your definition of "big name."7

If 'Big name' = 'lazy primadonna', Than I stand for Galliani's words.

Is cassano to be Shevchenko's heir...?

Milan have decided that Antonio Cassano would be the perfect replacement for Andriy Shevchenko, claim reports today.
