Parma accept £30M Chelsea bid for Gilardino
tribalfootball.com - June 4, 2005
Chelsea have launched a shock raid for Parma striker Alberto Gilardino.
AC Milan were favourites for the Italy international, but Chelsea have seen a £30 million bid accepted by Parma in the last 24 hours.
Milan are believed to have already agreed terms with the player, while they were hopeful of reaching a deal with the Gialloblu over a transfer fee.
However, the Rossoneri are seemingly only prepared to offer around £20m - substantially lower than Chelsea's alleged bid.
More should be known next week once Parma chief Luca Baraldi returns from his mini-holiday on Sunday evening.
I dont know about this :S I hope its bullshit

Gilardino snubs Chelsea bid Saturday 4 June, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Adriano’s refusal, now Alberto Gilardino has also distanced himself from Chelsea’s £30m bid, insisting he wants to join Milan.
Yesterday it was reported that Parma had accepted an offer for the Italian international, though a deal cannot be completed until the relegation play-off with Bologna.
“Chelsea have not lodged any official bid for Gilardino,” announced the 23-year-old’s agent Bonetto. “In fact, we don’t even know of any negotiations. What I can say is that the player would prefer a move to Milan.”
This is the second snub that the Stamford Bridge outfit has received in the space of a few days, as fellow Serie A star Adriano has also publicly dismissed a switch to the Premiership.
“Gilardino would like to stay in Italy and his first choice is Milan, but we shouldn’t rule Chelsea out entirely. I would consider Real Madrid an unlikely solution, though. We hope everything can be sorted out as soon as possible without waiting until the end of August.”
However, Parma’s financial difficulties mean that they could try to push Gilardino towards Chelsea if faced with an offer that is £10m higher than Milan’s.
“I will go to dinner with patron Silvio Berlusconi on Monday evening and try to convince him that we need to spend money to create a winning team,” revealed Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani.
“I’ve heard that Chelsea’s Peter Kenyon will go to Parma on Wednesday to discuss an important player. That means I’ll have to trip him up!”
Gilardino has scored 46 Serie A goals in the last two seasons, but will miss tonight’s World Cup qualifier in Norway due to injury.

Milan In For Ljungberg
6/6/2005 8:38:00 AM
The Rossoneri are ready to sign the Swedish winger.
Following the incoming transfers of Johann Vogel and Marek Jankulovksi, Milan are close to sign another high profile midfielder: Frederik Ljungberg.
The Arsenal player is seen as the ideal right winger for the Rossoneri thanks to his speed and technical qualities. The transfer could be eased by the fact that recently Ljunberg declared that he will not renew his contract with the London-based club.
In the meantime, Milan are also set to complete the transfer of Alberto Gilardino from Parma, but the announcement will only be made after the 20th of June, following the relegation playoff between the Gialloblu and Bologna.
