Milan net Jankulovski, confirm Udinese Monday 30 May, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Udinese have revealed that star midfielder Marek Jankulovksi has joined Italian giants Milan.
A deal was reportedly agreed in January and the Bianconeri have today insisted that the Czech ace will play for the Rossoneri next term.
"I can confirm that the player has gone to Milan," Udinese chief Giampaolo Pozzo said on Monday afternoon.
The San Siro giants have yet to comment on the story but it does seem that Jankulovski has finally moved on.
Jankulovski was close to leaving the Stadio Friuli last summer but moves to Juventus and Inter collapsed.
The former Napoli player, 28, is one of numerous Udinese stars who have caught the eye this term.
The club have qualified for the Champions’ League after a stunning season which has inevitably seen other players linked with an exit.
"If Parma’s Alberto Gilardino is worth £35m then our Vicenzo Iaquinta is valued at £15m," added Pozzo.
"David Pizarro? There have been a lot of rumours regarding him but we will only discuss his proposed sale when a club is really interested."
Striker Iaquinta has also been linked with Milan, while Pizarro is a target for Milan, Inter, Juventus and Roma.
Jankulovski is Milan’s second signing after the club swooped for Swiss international midfielder Johann Vogel from PSV last week.
