Milan join Juve in hunt to sign Banega
Zenit’s Saint Petersbug’s ace Axel Witsel was reportedly Milan’s n.1 target for January, though the player’s price tag is way too expensive for the Rossoneri’s finances.
On the other hand, Juventus set sights on AS Monaco’s playmaker Joao Moutinho who wants to swap the Monegasque with a big European side that can compete to win at least a domestic title.
The Portuguese’s international price-tag is believed to be in the region of € 20 million, while the Old Lady’s n.1 target Ilkay Gundogan is unlikely to move from Borussia Dortmund in January.
The club’s CEO Giuseppe Marotta met Ever Banega’s agent too less than two weeks ago, in order to sound out the player’s availability to move to the Stadium in January or June as a free agent.
Milan have join race to sign the Argentina International, but the Rossoneri financial situation does not allow them to offer big money for the player.
With Sevilla FC looking for a central defender after that Andrea Ranocchia has preferred to sign with Bologna on a six-month loan rather than moving to the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan, Milan are planning to offer the Spanish side Cristian Zapata or Rodrigo Ely, even if none of them represent an exciting option for the four times UEFA Europa League winners.
