Despite the signing of Cristian Zapata, AC Milan keep on seeking a defender, expecially now that the situation of 30 year old Philippe Mexes has become extremely complicated; as sublined by RMC, the relations between the France national and  his actual club are worsening due to his terrible physical shape. The player is tracked by many Qatari clubs, but, according to calciomercato.com, the rossoneri could offer him to Montpellier to obtain 23 year old Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa. Regarding the midfield, it seems always more difficult for the rossoneri to obtain from Real Madrid 30 year old Xabi Alonso and 23 year old Nuri Sahin: the agent of the European champions has declared to Spazio Milan that his client won’t leave the merengues, while, according to the German medias, the Turkey national will certainly move to England. Regarding the offensive line, Juventus General Manager Giuseppe Marotta has declared to Sky Sport 24 that 27 year old Alessandro Matri, considered a Milan target, could leave beyond an important offer, while the rossoneri have been overtaken by Tottenham in the hunt for Caen 17 year old M’Baye Niang. Moreover, the Lombard club’s Sports Director Ariedo Braida has denied to Palermo24.net any contact with the Sicilian club for Djamel Mesbah.

 

Also Juventus are seeking a striker, and their General Manager has confirmed, still to Sky Sport 24, his club’s interest for Athletic Bilbao 27 year old Fernando Llorente; Marotta has sublined that the Basque club doesn’t want to let the player leave but that Juve will make in any case an attempt. The Serie A champs’executive has also confirmed that there are no possibilities for Arsenal 28 year old Robin Van Persie, while Manchester City 26 year old Edin Dzeko remains a difficult but not impossible target. Regarding the defense, the agent of Lazio 24 year old Modibo Diakité has denied the possibility for his client to join the bianconeri.
