Ancelotti desires Emerson bid
Thursday 25 May, 2006
Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has asked his club to make an offer for Emerson if he becomes available for transfer.
The Brazilian is being linked with an exit should Juventus find themselves in Serie B next term as a result of the alleged match-fixing scandal.
And after already being linked with the Rossoneri, Ancelotti has now publicly admitted that he would welcome the South American with open arms.
“We need to modify a few things in midfield during the 2006-07 campaign,” the former Italian international stated.
“The ideal solution would be placing a figure of substance alongside [Andrea] Pirlo. I’m thinking of someone like Emerson.”
The former Bayer Leverkusen ace joined Juve two years ago after following boss Fabio Capello to Turin from Roma.
Meanwhile, Milan’s Manuel Rui Costa has admitted that he is hoping to seal a move to former club Benfica this summer.
“I hope to soon become a Benfica player, even if there is nothing certain at this stage,” stated the Portuguese playmaker.
“I’ve not freed myself from Milan yet. There are a few details to sort out and there should be developments in the next few days.”
The 34-year-old former Fiorentina player wants to leave after spending another campaign on the bench at the San Siro.
