As reported yesterday, the future of AC Milan forward Robinho remains uncertain: the Lombard club’s executives continue to declare that they are trying to convince the Brazil international to remain in Milan, but, according to Lancenet, Sao Paulo are seriously interested in the 28 year old, while Santos vice-president Odilio Rodrigues has declared that his club has not renounced to sign its former player; and at the same time, Corinthians, according to Sky transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, have offered 15 million euros to the rossoneri for Alexandre Pato. It seems difficult that Milan will renounce to both players, even if by selling them, the rossoneri could make a serious attempt for Manchester City 22 year old striker Mario Balotelli, who, as sublined by Sportitalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedullà, could be the ideal player for the Lombard team in the Italian championship but not in the Champions League, where he couldn’t be avoked by coach Massimiliano Allegri. Regarding the defense, the rossoneri seem to have overtaken Juventus in the hunt for Atalanta 28 year old Federico Peluso, while Torino and Sampdoria are still in competition for 28 year old Algerian left back Djamel Mesbah.

With 34 year old center back Lucio that has left, Juventus will need to sign a defender in the next transfer window, and, as reported by Sportmediaset, are in talks with Udinese to obtain on loan with right to buy 26 year old Danilo Larangeira. Regarding the offensive line, the bianconeri, according to the same media, are still negotiating with 34 year old Didier Drogba but are also thinking about calling back from Bologna, where he is playing on loan, 21 year old Manolo Gabbiadini.
