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.

Overrated

 

[Gogeta]

Nice siginging imo

Unfortunately for Jankulovski, I see a lot of bench time in his future -- with Pirlo and even Gattuso commanding more attention for his usual position. Unless they plan to play him in defense, which may make more sense given the aging Cafu and Maldini.

 

[Mr. Gol]

Jankulovski isn't really a defender, and where does this put Maldini - right back? I think Seedorf is most likely to lose his place because he is the second attacking midfielder after Kaka, and that way Maldini won't have to come forward that often.

 

[swag]

Jank has often played on the defensive line for the Czech NT, if I'm not mistaken. Think Zambro.

 

[Azzurri7]

I thought he was ours.

 

[Geof]

Vogel, Janko...

not bad signings. I think Janko is more likely to take the place of Seedorf, and he might cover Maldini.

We don't need him.

 

[Freddy]

I wanted Janko to join Juve

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

we certantly could have used him but he wasnt a neccesity

 

[swag]

And at 28, most of his best years aren't exactly ahead of him either.

 

[Sadomin]

Camo, Nedved & Zambrotta > Jankulovski.

Jankulovski plays left back or left midfield, he won't be competing with Pirlo or Gattuso for a first team place. If he plays in midfield it will be at Seedorf's expense.

 

[JCK]

Good replacement for Seedorf

 

[Azzurri7]

I don't think he'll like the Idea sitting on the bench.

 

[JCK]

He won't sit on the bench, Seedorf will.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

I think he'll be playing for LB in Milan. Does this mean that Kakhaber Kaladze will leave Milan though?

 

[Desmond]

Milan gets Johann Vogel and Marek Jankulovski,and we settle for Robert Kovac and Giannichedda :groan:

 

[Bjerknes]

Jankulovski will play leftback for Ancelloti next term, mark my words. Either that or he will take over for Seedorf on the left side of midfield, however I'm rather certain Kaladze will be leaving this summer. Marek will be his replacement, and what a replacement he would be. Shame Moggi did not want to follow Nedved's advice and bring Marek to Turin.
