As reported earlier, the situation of AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri remains uncertain: interviewed by Canale 5, the club’s honorary president and major shareholder Silvio Berlusconi has confirmed that a final decision will be made next Sunday, but has been quite elusive about the 45 year old’s future. In any case, the rossoneri’s executives are trying to reinforce their team, and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, are ready to challenge Manchester City, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain for Lazio 28 year old midfielder Anderson Hernanes de Carvalho Viana Lima aka Hernanes, valued about 20 million euros. Still regarding the midfield, Milan, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, are still keen on Barcelona 22 year old Thiago Alcantara, also tracked by Manchester United; on the contrary, interviewed by Rai Sport, Sampdoria 23 year old Andrea Poli has declared that for the moment there is nothing going on with the Lombard club. For what concerns the offensive line, Genoa, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, have joined the rossoneri in the hunt for Torino 26 year old winger Alessio Cerci, while another granata, 30 year old center forward Rolando Bianchi, has told SpazioMilan.it that he would agree to join the Lombard club. Meanwhile, regarding the possible departures, Zenit St. Petersburg, accordinf to Izvestia, are ready to offer a three million euros per year contract to 26 year old full back Ignazio Abate.

In the last days there have been many rumours regarding the possibility for 25 year old center back Andrea Ranocchia to leave Inter Milan, but after the game played with the Italian national team against San Marino, the player has declared that he has two more years on his contract and that he wants to honour it.
