Altobelli sees Vieri at Milan
Friday 1 July, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter legend Alessandro Altobelli says he wouldn’t be surprised to see Christian Vieri sign for Milan following his Nerazzurri split.

The striker mutually agreed to cancel his Inter contract on Friday and the race for his signature has already begun.

"If he has decided to terminate a deal worth £17m then it is because he has received an interesting offer, perhaps from Milan," the former striker told Datasport.

"Am I joking? No, I’m being very serious and ready to put a wager on it. I don’t think he’ll join Juventus, I doubt he’ll move to Spain or England. Vieri will go to Milan!"

The Rossoneri could in theory make a bid for Vieri, seeing their problems in trying to keep Chelsea owned Hernan Crespo and signing Alberto Gilardino from Parma.

Vieri scored 122 goals in six seasons for the club, just six less than Altobelli, but his exit hasn’t surprised the former Azzurri ace.

"A love-hate relationship had developed over the past few years and it was clear that it would end like this," added the 1982 World Cup winner. "He was also contested by some fans."

The Coppa Italia holders have undoubtedly lost a good player but Altobelli still sees life after Vieri.

"Inter won’t have a problem in attack without Christian," he added. "Boss Roberto Mancini still has Obafemi Martins, Alvaro Recoba, Julio Cruz and Adriano."

This is one transfer I wouldnt want to see....

I dont think I have ever liked Vieri...he seems to disappear in big games, or worse, waste chances.

He hates the bench, even when he does nothing to deserve to start...while he is undoubtedly talented, I would much rather seeing him at Tottenham or another Premiereship team, as they play his type of game. Long balls and crosses.

Please, please, not Vieri.

yeah vieri is certainly not good enough!
he was good 3years ago, now he is retirering IMO.

get other players MILAN!! plz

May be tgcom can answer some of your questions. :

Just read below and dream:

Milan, nomi nuovi per la difesa
Il belga Kompany "opzionato" per il '06

Con quasi tutti i titolari vicini o sopra i 30 anni, il Milan pensa in tempi brevi ad acquisire forze nuove per "svecchiare" la difesa. Il primo nome sulla lista è quello di Vincent Kompany, centrale dell'Anderlecht (seguito anche dall'Inter) che potrebbe arrivare nell'estate 2006. Gli altri nomi caldi sono quelli del brasiliano dell'Udinese Felipe, del torinista Andrea Mantovani e del nazionale olandese Ron Vlaar.


Con Maldini, Costacurta e Stam sopra i 30 anni, e Nesta a quota 29, inevitabile che, oltre a rinforzare l'attacco, il Milan pensi a rinnovare in qualche modo la difesa. Non si tratta di un obiettivo a brevissimo termine, anche perchè per ora i giocatori citati offrono garanzie più che sufficienti. Ma ciò non vieta ai rossoneri di iniziare a pianificare il futuro. Uno dei primi nomi sulla lista è quello di Vincent Kompany, il centrale dell'Anderlecht seguito da tempo anche dai cugini dell'Inter e al Chelsea. Kompany ha appena rinnovato con i belgi fino al 2010, dopo essere stato eletto miglior calciatore del campionato per la scorsa stagione. Il Milan lo vuole far cresce almeno per una stagione in Belgio, poi la prossima estate potrebbe presentare all'Anderlecht un'offerta irrinunciabile. Ma i rossoneri seguono anche un paio di giocatori che militano già nel campionato italiano. Uno è Andrea Mantovani, 21enne del Torino. L'altro è Felipe, di cui il Milan già parlato con la dirigenza dell'Udinese. Infine c'è Ron Vlaar, difensore dell'Az Alkmaar che da maggio è entrato a far parte del giro della nazionale olandese. Potrebbero essere i loro i nomi da cui uscirà quello del nuovo Maldini o del nuo

in my opinion, any striker is better than tomasson which means he must leave milan! vieri is still better than inzaghi and tomasson. we need a true winger! i am tired of milan cant attack from the wing. serginho is our only true winger, but he was not used often.

we ave serginho and we got jankulovski besides cafu on the right

we loaned abbiati out and signed eleftheropoulos.. it is ok, bring in fresh face in GK. Seems like either vieri or gilardino will join milan, or even both of them. Vieri is still one of the best even though he is 32 and lost in form. Usually, the inter unwanted players become rejuvenated in milan. Let's see what happens in a week or less. 'an old and lazy' vieri is still better than tomasson! Please kick out tomasson!!!!! sorry!

FORZA MILAN!!!

This one will get you all talking. According to the Spanish press, Milan will allow Shevchenko to leave and join Chelsea for 80 million euros next season. Shevchenko didn't want to leave this season because of the up coming world cup and didn't want any needless disruptions to effect his country sealing a place in the finals. Aparantly there will be no obstructions by Milan to let him go and join Abramovich in 2006-2007.

With the money Milan will try to get Ronaldinho and possibly Puyol also. They will also replace Ancelotti with either Van Basten (who is the favourite although he has no experience) or raid Barcelona for a third time for Rijkaard (my personal favourite )

The article is on calciomercato

This would be a major step backwards in my opinion. Agreed it's only rumours, but such powerful rumours should not be ignored or completely dismissed.

Did anybody heard the news that man utd have bid for gatusso,some mate of my told me thats the news is on some italian newspapers,so can anybody confirm it

That's just bull****, really.

Shevchenko is NOT for sale, end of story.

Well thank you for that insightful and meaningful reaction !

Well, would've thought you, as a Milan-fan, had understood by now that Shevchenko isn't for sale, at any price.
Be calm and rest assured, he'll stay at Milanello 'till the day he retires.

the whole barca team arent worth selling sheva IMO
