One of AC Milan’s priorities for the next season is the signing of a high-rated defender, considering that the team seems to be still missing the transfer of Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain: one of the rossoneri’s main targets is Cagliari 26 year old Davide Astori, but, according to Napolimagazine.com, the Sardinian club has refused the 8 million euros (plus one of their youngsters) made by Milan for the Italy international. An alternative to the rossoblu, perhaps also tracked by Napoli, could be, as reported by the French medias, Lyon 23 year old Dejan Lovren: the contract of the Croatia international with Les Gones will expire in June 2016. As reported in the last days, even if 35 year old Cristian Abbiati seems intentined to extend, the Lombard club keeps on seeking the heir of the expert goalkeeper, and, in addition to Newcastle United 25 year old Tim Krul, the rossoneri, according to Sky Sport, are also keen on another Cagliari player, 28 year old Michael Agazzi. Meanwhile, Fulham manager Martin Jol has declared that it will be impossible for his club to sign on permanent deal 26 year old wingback Urby Emanuelson, actually on loan from the rossoneri indeed.

As reported last night, Juventus coach Antonio Conte has sent a message to his club, asking for new signings: and, as well known, the 43 year old is required from many major European clubs: and, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, to keep Conte in Turin, the Piedmontese club will have to accomplish his requests, expecially regarding the offensive line: Liverpool 26 year old Luis Suarez and Paris Saint-Germain 31 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic remain two valid options, but, as reported by the Daily Mirror, the bianconeri, as well as Fiorentina, keep on tracking Manchester United 24 year old Javier “El Chicarito” Hernandez.
