Milan turn to £10m Chivu

Source: Football Italia

Milan are looking to resolve their defensive difficulties by raiding Roma for Cristian Chivu, according to reports in Italy.

Chivu has been with the Giallorossi since the summer of 2003 and has two-and-a-half years left on his current contract, but Milan are prepared to shell out on the right player to plug the gaps in their creaking defence.

The Romanian is still only 25 years old but has a wealth of experience after making his name with Ajax at an early age.

He is also a versatile defender who can play at both full-back and in central defence.

Chivu suggested that he would be prepared to move on when he jumped to the defence of Fabio Capello last month, after the former Roma Coach was publicly criticised by Francesco Totti.

"Capello brought me to Italy and I would like to team up with him again," he said at the time.

"I must thank him because the fact that I am here is also down to him. When it comes to Capello, all you have to do is look at the number of League titles he has won."

However, Milan could now lure Chivu to the San Siro with a bid of £10m – a fee that the cash-strapped club from the capital would have difficulty in turning down, especially after the lesson they have learnt with regard to Antonio Cassano, for whom they will struggle to recoup much of their £20m outlay.

With Paolo Maldini, Marcos Cafu and Billy Costacurta out injured and approaching the twilight of their careers, Milan know that reinforcements are badly required in order to rebuild their ageing side.

The arrival of Chivu in January would also strengthen their Champions League challenge as the Resita-born left-back is eligible to play in the competition, having only appeared in the UEFA Cup with the Giallorossi this season.

I think so, which means we can only use him for the Serie A.

mk18 · 18-12-2005, 01:47

no he wont, a new rule is that players that play in the UEFA cup can compete in the CL, thats what i read!

Milan3869 · 18-12-2005, 05:03

read the entire article people....it says hes eligible to play in CL....anyways with chivu, we get a veteran at LB, but also a solid CB. i said we should definitely try to get him for january. if chivu comes aboard, we still can take a shot at the scudetto.

mrki · 18-12-2005, 08:04

please let this be true....and with lugano and Rb in the summer, our defence is once again the strongest in the world.

Bosniaco · 18-12-2005, 08:42

I think Chivu can play any role in defence, RB, CB, LB just like Gallas.

K77SH C · 18-12-2005, 12:59

Top player, but he is injury prone

rae · 19-12-2005, 12:16

Actually I prefer Chivu to Gallas. Even though he is injury prone. He is younger and another + that he knows what is calcio italiano. So I go for Chivu, if it is possible.

zlatanov · 19-12-2005, 12:41

I'd go for both of them for we will need them given that Maldini will retire next year, not to mention that Paolo's last year with Milan could be one plagued by injuries and such.
IMO, getting Alex and Gallas is a must for next season - and this is just regarding central defence. Would welcome Chivu too as having him won't be a luxury but a necessity given the vast changes we are facing for next year with Billy and possbly Stam leaving, while Maldini could face a struggle to stay fit.

i agree.. we both think alike, its really freaky!

i would go for oddo and 1 of gallas/chivu/alex now ... then in the summer i would go for one of the remaining two.

zlatanov · 19-12-2005, 13:20

Didn't see the Lazio-Juve game, but hear/read that Oddo was one of the best players on the pitch. Given that his price is rumoured to be ~3 mil euros, and given our obvious need for a RB with Cafu being absent for practically all of the season so far, It would moronic, to say the least, if we miss on the guy.
