Milan ponder Gerrard bid Tuesday 30 May, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milan are ready to make Liverpool a mega offer for captain Steven Gerrard, reports in Italy insist on Tuesday.
With the Rossoneri set to net around £35m for Andriy Shevchenko from Chelsea, the Italians are ready to use part of those funds to finance a Gerrard bid.
The England ace is highly rated in Italy and after initial links with Juventus earlier this year, Milan are now being paired with the star.
Milan know all about Gerrard’s quality after he inspired Liverpool’s quite remarkable Champions League Final comeback against the Rossoneri just over a year ago.
Boss Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he is looking to freshen things up in midfield and had already indicated that Juventus’ Emerson was wanted.
But Gerrard is believed to be his primary objective even if the Anfield outfit have always insisted that he is not for sale.
It remains to be seen whether there is any scope for negotiating, which will now probably only take place after the World Cup Finals.
Meanwhile, Clarence Seedorf is being linked with a San Siro exit after some exceptional years of service.
The Dutchman is reportedly an Arsenal target after they lost Robert Pires to Spanish outfit Villarreal last week.
