The priority for AC Milan remains the signing of a midfielder, although the financial situation of the Lombard club makes this task extremely hard to achieve. Moreover, as reported by the Corriere dello Sport, one of the rossoneri's main target -Real Madrid 27 year old Lassana Diarra- seems always closer to Spartak Moscow, who have offered 10 million euros to the merengues and a 4,5 million euros per year salary to the player. On the other hand, according to the same media, Milan have asked their former star Andryi Shevchenko to convince his teammate Andryi Yarmolenko to join the rossoneri. The contract of the Ukraine national with Dynamo Kjiv will expire in december 2013 and has a 30 million euros termination clause. For this reason Milan could wait one year to swoop on the 22 year old forward. Regarding the defense, for Palermo 27 year old Matias Silvestre, the rossoneri, in addition to city rivals Inter, will also have to compete, according to La Sicilia, with Paris Saint-Germain, while Torino 24 year old Angelo Ogbonna seems always closer to AS Rome.

Still seeking a striker, Juventus, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, seem to have a new chance for Arsenal 29 year old Robin Van Persie, considering the fact that The Gunners have just signed 25 year old Olivier Giroud. The Corriere dello Sport keep on considering Manchester City 21 year old Mario Balotelli a valid option, but the right name could be the one of 26 year old Edin Dzeko. The Bosnia national seemed intended to move to Bayern Munich, but the Bavarian club is about to sign Wolfsburg 26 year old Mario Mandzukic, so the bianconeri could have a new chance for the Citizen.
