Interviewed by Sky, AC Milan Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has confirmed that the negotiation for the signing of Real Madrid ace Ricardo Kaka is extremely difficult and that he doesn't want to deceive Milan fans. Galliani has just said "we'll see" regarding the possible alternatives to the Brazil national. The rossoneri certainly need to enforce their offensive line, but also the defense, despite the signing of Cristian Zapata and the fact that that coach Massimiliano Allegri has declared to be satisdied of the arrival of the Colombia national, needs to be improved, expecially after the terrible performance against Real. And such a task seems always more difficult to accomplish: Montpellier vice-president Laurent Nicolin has confirmed that 23 year old Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa will leave, despite his short contract, only in front of an important offer, "not like the one made by Milan". Moreover, interviewed by IVM, Claudio Vigorelli, agent of Newcastle wingback Davide Santon and Cagliari center back Davide Astori, has declared that for both his clients there are no chances to join the rossoneri.

After the Europa League game lost to Hajduk, Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni has declared that his team's midfield must be enforced and that, in general, he needs more players. But also the nerazzurri's situation doesn't seem so easy: Heerenveen winger Oussama Assaidi is about to join Ajax, while also Chelsea, according to the British press, are keen on Bayer Leverkusen starlet André Schuerrle. On the contrary, according to calciomercato.com, regarding the swap offered by Tottenham, one player could be useful to the Lombard team: 23 year old Mexican attacking midfielder Giovani Dos Santos.
