AC Milan: Balotelli to France? Inter: Firmino farther
After the fourth defeat on a row, AC Milan is going again through an extremely difficult period: in the last days there have been some rumours about the possibility for the Lombard club to fire their first team’s coach Clarence Seedorf, but finally president Silvio Berlusconi has declared that the Dutchman is not at risk; on the contrary, the Italian tycoon, as highlighted by the Corriere dello Sport, has attacked Chief Executive Adriano Galliani, by accusing the club’s transfer market strategies; according to La Stampa, Galliani himself is thinking about leaving the rossoneri to join Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. The 70-year old could be replaced by the former Milan’s captain Paolo Maldini -who has told La Gazzetta dello Sport that he has been contacted by Barbara Berlusconi but that finally the Lombard club has decided not to sign a Sports Director- or by Parma General Manager Pietro Leonardi, who has perhaps admitted the possibility for 28 year old defender Gabriel Paletta- to leave. Regarding the team itself, 23 year old striker Mario Balotelli seems intended to leave: the Italy international, according to Sportmediaset, is tracked by Monaco. City rivals Inter Milan keep on working to reinforce their offensive line, and one of their main targets remains Hoffenheim 21 year old Roberto Firmino: but, as reported by Metro, the Brazilian attacking midfielder, who has one more year on his contract and is valued about 15 million euros, is also tracked by Chelsea.
