Diego Milito from Genoa (2 Viewers)

Well, he seems to have quite a prolific scoring rate, even if it is largely based on the Serie B season. He might just end up being the next big thing. Its a gamble I wouldnt mind taking, given the plethora of talent already on our books. In addition, that would free up Zalayeta who has asked for a move (will miss him) and he could be used as a very important bargaining tool if we can use him as bait for Miguel from Benfica. Otherwise, we could sell him to a Spanish club and take another step towards nullifying the dosh spent on Patrick Vieira's purchase from Arsenal.
Reports in Italy suggest that Juventus are closing in on the loan capture of Genoa striker Diego Milito.
The prolific Argentine was one of the Rossoblu’s star performers last term, as his goals helped fire the club back into Serie A.
However, his request for an extension to his current two-year deal was rejected and the club’s top flight status remains in doubt.
Genoa are awaiting the verdict into their alleged match-fixing trial, something which could take place later today.
That added doubt makes a move away even more tempting for Milito, especially to the champions of Italy.
It is expected that Bianconeri transfer guru Luciano Moggi will negotiate a deal to take the 26-year-old on an initial loan deal.
If both parties are happy this will then revert to a permanent £3m transfer.
The potential move must also place into doubt the Turin future of Marcelo Zalayeta.
The Uruguayan international struggled for first-team action last term and he has already seen Adrian Mutu jump ahead of him in the pecking order.

Zalayeta is gone, you like it or not, he wants first team action and he deserves it, he will not stay to be a 5th striker.
And another thing... I read that someone post that the signing of Milito will put the place of Mutu on the team under a big question... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? if, IF we get Milito its to fill the 5th striker position, in case that you don't know thats behind Ibra, Trez, Mutu and DP.
