Gallas opts for Milan
Wednesday 5 April, 2006
Chelsea defender William Gallas will wear the Milan jersey next season, according to reports in France.
The renowned L’Equipe newspaper today writes that the international is ready to end his Chelsea stint in favour of a San Siro switch.
Despite being wanted by the likes of Barcelona and Juventus, it seems that Gallas has set his sights on joining the Rossoneri.
The Frenchman was believed to be assessing his future at Stamford Bridge even if his present deal doesn’t expire until June 2008.
Milan are known to be looking to refresh their defensive options and the versatility of Gallas is widely admired.
The fact that he can play both in the centre of defence and also as a full-back has tempted Milan to make a move.
Chelsea, Milan nor the player himself has yet to make any comment regarding this latest round of speculation.
