Zambrotta completes Milan move
Friday 13 June, 2008


Milan have officially completed the transfer of Barcelona’s Azzurri defender Gianluca Zambrotta, confirming the fee and contract terms.

The deal has been public knowledge for weeks, but the two clubs only finalised the transfer today.

Zambrotta, who has been a Rossoneri target for over a decade, has finally been added to the Diavolo ranks.

“Barcelona and Milan have signed the agreement this morning for the passage of Zambrotta to the Rossoneri on a permanent basis,” a statement confirmed.

“Zambrotta will sign a contract with Milan until 2012. The cost of the transfer is £7m, plus the possibility of an additional £1.6m depending on the Diavolo’s League position next season.”

The 31-year-old’s wages are expected to amount to around £2.5m per season.

They were chasing him for a decade and now they'll be playing him in their starting XI for a decade.

Actually, it's true that Milan were after Zambrotta since 1998. Galliani confirmed that Zambrotta was ready to sign for Milan in 1998 but then Moggi offered much more to Bari and they decided to sell him to Juve instead of Milan.
Then in 2006 they were also close to signing him but at the end our board decided to sell Zambro to Barcelona.

Also let's not forget the fact that Galliani stated that they went for Serginho instead, although Zambrotta played as a RM at that time. Tells you how smart Galliani is.

I think after Zambrotta's brilliant showing today, Barcelona can breathe easy.

Adebayor can't resist Milan
Saturday 14 June, 2008

Emmanuel Adebayor’s Rossoneri move is back on after his agent confessed, “it’s difficult to turn down Milan.”

General manager Adriano Galliani has publicly named the Arsenal striker as the primary transfer target.

Although he said he was happy at the Emirates, agent Stephane Courbis painted a different picture.

“It is difficult to say if Emmanuel will play for Milan,” he told Italian station Radio Radio TV.

“I know the club has been in contact with Arsenal and now it all depends on the intentions of the English side.

“Milan are a great club, among the best in the world, and when a team like that wants to buy you, you have to think about it very carefully.

“There has to be an agreement between the two clubs. Adebayor is happy at Arsenal, but when a player is tracked by Milan, it is difficult to turn them down.”

The comments are pennies from Heaven for Galliani, who is finding it very difficult to tempt a world class striker to San Siro after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger still has no intention of parting with the Togo international for less than £30m, but Adebayor’s manager is putting a cat among the pigeons.

After all, Milan have already tempted Mathieu Flamini across to Serie A in an out-of-contract swoop.
