Nancy midfielder Bakaye Traoré has declared to RMC: "In the next days I will sign for AC Milan". The 27 year old won't probably be the only new midfielder for the rossoneri, who are also keen on Lazio 26 year old Hernanes, as revealed by the Brazilian player's agent Joseph Lee.

According to calciomercato.com, after the TIM Cup final against Napoli, 42 year old coach Antonio Conte will extend his deal with Juventus until 2016. In the mid-time, the Piedmontese club General Manager Giuseppe Marotta has admitted to be interested in Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie. Marotta has also declared that he will let Eljero Elia and Milos Krasic leave, while a decision about Marco Borriello hasn't been made yet.
