AC Milan Wants To Buy Reina

AC Milan wants to buy Pepe Reina, the shot stopper of Liverpool, but, they might not be able to secure that deal due to money issues.

Reina had featured for Napoli in the Italian top tier in the previous season and had been reasonably successful there. The Blues management wanted to have him on a permanent basis this summer, but, they had to change their mind eventually because of the transfer fee of 4 million Pounds demanded by Liverpool and the huge weekly salary of Reina.

Reina had featured for Napoli in the Italian top tier in the previous season and had been reasonably successful there. The Blues management wanted to have him on a permanent basis this summer, but, they had to change their mind eventually because of the transfer fee of 4 million Pounds demanded by Liverpool and the huge weekly salary of Reina.

AC Milan is also not likely to pay Reina such a big weekly salary and thus, it doesn’t seem that the 31-year old Spaniard would make his way to San Siro.

Milan, whose financial condition is not that strong at the moment, is trying to sign players only on loan this summer.
They might make one or two low-priced permanent signings as well, but, mostly, they are looking to borrow the players for the time being. They are also willing to offload one of their biggest superstars Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli had been linked to a move to Anfield after being praised by the Reds boss Brendan Rodgers ahead of the pre-season friendly match between Milan and Liverpool, but, in one of his recent interviews, Rodgers made it clear that he was not in the race to buy the Italian striker.

Speaking in that interview, Rodgers said, “Let me clarify that Mario won’t be a Liverpool player this season. Yes, I applauded him the other day and that’s because he is a terrific footballer, an exceptional talent, but, if you applaud a player, it doesn’t mean you are planning to buy that guy.”

Liverpool had beaten Milan by a profound margin of 2-0 in that friendly match.

Poli Believes Inzaghi could Help Rossoneri To Become Real Force

Andrea Poli, the Italian playmaker, has said that Filippo Inzaghi would help the Rossoneri become a real force in Europe and all over the world.

Inzaghi has recently been given the charge of AC Milan after the sacking of Clarence Seedorf.

The 40-year Old had been the manager of the youth side of Milan since the last couple of years and he had done a good job there. Being impressed by that, the Milan board decided to get him involved with the senior team.

A lot of Milan players have already expressed their happiness on Inzaghi’s appointment and yesterday, Poli also got included in that list.

Speaking to the reporters, the youngster said, “Inzaghi’s record with the youth team is pretty good. I have been told that he’s a fantastic bloke and very energetic. I am looking forward to work with him. It’s important that we, the players, give him full support. Only then, we will be able to get our team rebuilt.”

“I have no idea about his coaching style to be honest. So, I can’t comment on that. I have just heard a few things about him. That’s it. But, what he has done with the junior team, it suggests that he has got good managerial skills.”

AC Milan had struggled a lot in the previous Serie A. They changed their manager in the middle of their campaign, but, despite that, they found it hard to win regularly and at the end, they finished at the 8th position with 57 points.

They want to start on fresh terms now and that’s why, they handed axe to Clarence Seedorf only after a brief stint. They would be hoping that Inzaghi takes them on the right path and helps them regain their lost glory.

Seedorf Expected To Leave

It is widely speculated that AC Milan are about to part company with manager Clarence Seedorf, who has failed to deliver European football to the team. Seedorf was appointed as the replacement for Massimiliano Allegri midway through the last campaign. Allegri was sacked due to poor results, which put the club’s immediate future in European football in major doubt. Despite this appointment, the former Milan midfielder failed to turn the fortunes of the club. They finished in a disappointing place outside the top six, which will mean no form of European football season.

This coupled with rumours that the owner Berlusconi is unhappy with Seedorf has increased rumours that the Dutchman will leave the club in the next few weeks. Inzaghi has become the frontrunner to replace him. The former Milan striker is currently working as the youth team coach. He said that he had several opportunities to leave the club, but since Milan have become his life, he ended up staying. He has revealed that he is ready to take up any job at the club, while he is also contracted as the youth team coach until 2016.

Inzaghi’s open statement that he is ready to take over the Milan job is likely to put Seedorf’s future in major doubt.
“Excited by what I’m reading? Who doesn’t get emotional about what they read? Milan is my life and my story. I’ve stopped playing for Milan but I do everything they ask of me. We’ll see what happens, I’m a Milan employee until 2016. I could have left but I wanted to stay because I have a contract here. That’s the path I will follow. If some good news is communicated to me then great. Otherwise, I am proud to continue coaching the Primavera team,” said Inzaghi in a recent interview.

Seedorf Unfazed By Roma Defeat

AC Milan manager Clarence Seedorf has stated that he has no problems with the defeat suffered against Roma, but he is now already looking forward to the Milan derby next week. AC Milan’s five match winning run came to an end after they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Roma. Unlike in previous years, this Roma team have been brilliant this campaign. They would have won the league title had it not been for Juventus. Roma have won 13 out of the 14 matches prior to this encounter. Due to this incredible record, they are set to return to Champions League in the coming season.

Seedorf stated that there is no shame in losing to one of the best teams in the league. Now, he is looking forward to getting his team back to winning ways when they take on city rivals Inter Milan at the San Siro next weekend. This match will be very crucial for the club since it could determine their status in the European competition next season. Inter Milan currently occupy the final qualifying spot, but they are not keen on finishing in the Europa League places. Their manager Walter Mazzarri is thought to be against the Europa league, which will be an unnecessary burden without much financial rewards.

“Now we prepare for Inter…we move forward. I think Roma have won their last 15 home matches (actually 13 out of the last 14). I saw Milan play in a dignified way against a side that have been doing well since the start of the season. There’s no shame in losing against a side like this. They believe strongly in their title chances. We’ve got 15 points from six matches. The team are on the right road,” said Seedorf.

Despite taking over only a few months ago, Seedorf has already been linked with an exit.
