AC Milan: duel with Genoa for Matuzalem. Inter: Kuzmanovic is closer
Important declarations released to Sky by AC Milan Chief Executive Adriano Galliani before the Champions League game against Anderlecht: the Lombard club’s number two has declared once again that 20 year old forward Stephan El Shaarawy is not for sale and that all the team’s most important players will remain. On the contrary, regarding the possible new signings, Genoa seem to have overtaken the rossoneri in the hunt for Lazio 32 year old midfielder Francelino Matuzalem, while regarding the defense, the Lombard club’s agent Serginho has declared to Globoesporte that for the moment there have been no contacts for Santos 19 year old Felipe Anderson.
A high-level midfielder and a backup for 33 year old forward Diego Milito: these seems to be Inter Milan’s priority for the next transfer window. Regarding the first position, the nerazzurri seem to have always more chances for 25 year old Zdravko Kuzmanovic, whose contract with Stuttgart will expire at the end of the season: according to Sport Republics, in fact, there is a definitive rupture between the former Fiorentina player and the German club; on the contrary, according to Tuttosport, there seems to be some difficulties for the Lombard club for Corinthians 24 year old Paulinho. Regarding the offensive line, Inter’s main target, according to the same media and as anticipated last week by calciomercato.com, has become Cagliari 28 year old Mauricio Pinilla. The nerazzurri are also seeking a defender to replace 28 year old Matias Silvestre, and Twente 24 year old Douglas remains at the moment their more credible option.
