Milan’s Transfer Round-UP

by Soldier ~ August 12th, 2009.

Looking back at the last game of the previous season, no one would have imagined that that was the last time we see Milan with out some serious changes. Sure, everyone knew it was Maldini’s last game, but it turned out to be the farewell game for Ricardo Kaka’ and Carlo Ancelotti as well.

It was obvious after that game that Milan were keen on a rejuvenation stage, and so it would prove to be.

Milan decided to let go of their coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose replacment was Milan’s very own Leonardo. Milan also sold their star player, Kaka’, for a whooping price that helped cover the debt. Unfortunately for Milan, one of their very hot prospects Yoann Gourcoff decided to stay in Bordeaux which is a big loss for the Rossoneri. Of course, also Maldini left the team after he retired, and hopefully he’ll rejoin Milan occupying a staff spot. Milan also lost the services of the likes of Shevchenko, Beckham, Senderos, and Mattioni who all went back to their respective clubs after their loan contracts expired. Milan extended the co-ownership for Paloschi with Parma for one more year, which will help the young Italian gain some needed Serie A experience. Milan sold Romano Perticone to Livorno and also loaned Livorno Marcos Diniz, and loaned out their young italian defender, Darmian, to Padova for one year hoping he can gain some more experience. In addition to those, Milan also loaned out Pierre Aubameyang to Lille

As far as paying is concerned, Milan didn’t pay much to get a few players. Their recent aquisition, Klass-Jan Huntelaar was their most expensive buy of the summer, costing a reported price of about 15 million dollars.

Two other aquisitions came in the form of two young forwards, Zigoni and Berreta, who Milan hope will develop in the youth teams in order to help the first team later on in the competitions. Milan also bought the other half of Di gennaro’s contract from Genoa, and now they own all his contract; so was the case with Abate who Milan bought the rest of his contract from Torino. The other sigining was the American defender, Oguchi Onyewu, who came for free as his contract with his previou team ran out. There were also some players coming back from loan like Marco Storari and Massimo Oddo, two veterans who will hope to give Milan a push towards the titles. Thiago Silva, Milan’s ,Winter signing, can also be considered as a new signing since he didn’t get to play when he was signed due to the NON-EU regulations.

Milan do not look set to stop now, as Galliani has said that Milan are working on cancelling Kalac’s contract and bringing in Monaco’s 35 year old Goal keeper Roma instead. Milan also look set to buy one or two young fullbacks, with Lazio’s Di Silvestre and Spurs’ Gareth Bale look like the nearest targets, but buyin a new fullback may depend on the sale of Massimo Oddo who Milan believe may do them no good this season. Galliani also promised the Milan fans he would buy a young Brazilian midfielder; with most reports claiming it will be Hernanes.

With the Transfer window still open, and Leonardo assuring Milan have their eyes set on a few players, and with one NON-EU spot still free, one would want to wait and see to find out which players will wear the Rossoneri shirt next season.

    Great web site and thanks for the info. It appears to be pretty hard to discover the world cup shirts in the US. Most stores don’t have them. The web seem to be a excellent location to be a buy what you are looking for.
