AC Milan executives keep on seeking a skilled player for their offensive line, but their task seems always more difficult: according to the Corriere dello Sport, the rossoneri won’t make any new attempt for CSKA Moscow 27 year old attacking midfielder Keisuke Honda before next Monday, and, in any case, will definitively renounce to the Japan international if he won’t join before the Champions League play off. The Lombard club keeps also on observing the situation of Fiorentina 21 year old second striker Adem Ljajic, also tracked, according to the Daily Express, by Manchester City: Milan have offered 8 million euros to the viola to obtain the Serbia international, who has perhaps met in these hours his club’s honorary president Andrea Della Valle; and this latter, a few minutes ago, has declared that such amount is unsufficient to obtain the player, who, on the other hand, has also expressed his will to remain in Florence. On the contrary, regarding the possible departures, also Besiktas, according to kartalhaber.com, are keen on 30 year old left back Luca Antonini, while Genoa, as reported by Sky transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, keep on tracking 18 year old forward M’Baye Niang.

Also city rivals Inter Milan are having some problems on the transfer market, but one of their main targets, Bologna 21 year old midfielder Saphir Taider, according to the Corriere di Bologna, won’t be yielded for less than 18 million euros. In the mid time, meanwhile, 25 year old Alejandro Gomez, who was tracked by both the nerazzurri and Fiorentina, has left Catania to sign for Metalist Kharkiv.
