Gila commits to Milan
Alberto Gilardino has announced that he wants to stay at Milan despite being paired with a summer exit.
The striker had recently declared that he was unhappy with the club, as he did not feel they had faith in his abilities and added that he was ready to leave if his concerns weren’t satisfied.
The Rossoneri management initially announced that an offer of £17m would be needed to convince them to let the player leave the San Siro, but things seem to have changed since then.
“Milan are the only club on my mind,” Gilardino told Sky Italia. “I have heard of Juve’s interest, as well as other outfits, but honestly the Rossoneri are my first thought.
“I want to be part of the squad for preseason training and I hope I will soon return to my best condition. I want the next one to be a great season.
“Luckily I have clarified all issues with the club, therefore I want to guarantee that I will stay here, out of respect for this outfit and the supporters,” continued the Italy international.
Milan pipped Inter in the race to sign striker David Suazo and Gilardino is pleased with the Honduran’s arrival.
“He is a great player and I have always liked him. He is strong and fast, I am sure he will be very useful,” declared the former Parma man.
“Would my position change if Samuel Eto’o were to join Milan? I don’t know, these things are not for me to decide. In any case I think I will stay here.”
The striker also could not avoid questions on Kaka, who remains a reported target for Real Madrid.
“I think he will stay here. I know how much affection Ricardo feels for this outfit, I am sure we will both meet up on July 23,” concluded Gilardino.
