AC Milan is currently working to bring new faces to the team in the coming January. In addition, the Italian giants are one step closer to fill their vacant CEO position. Last but not least, the Rossoneri have offered a new contract to one of the team's stars.
Transfer News
According to the latest reports, AC Milan is looking to England to reinforce their squad. The Italian newspaper Tuttosport, particularly, asserts that the Rossoneri have been targeting Aaron Ramsey and Cesc Fabregas to add some quality in their midfield area. Both of the players see their contract with their respecting clubs running out next June and that means they can be available for free even if Milan might attempt to acquire them sooner.
Moreover, Leandro Paredes currently tops AC Milan Sporting Director Leonardo's list of candidates for the replacement of Lucas Biglia who has struggled last season for the Rossoneri, although he seems much improved at the movement. The Argentinian will be 33 years old next January and Corriere Dello Sport claims Paredes, who plays for Zenit Saint Petersburg, can be available for a fee of €35millions.
Lastly, Paolo Maldini and Leonardo have been eyeing Cagliari's, Nicolo Barella. According to Corriere Dello Sport, the Rossoneri will keep their eyes on the 21-years-old midfielder when the two teams face each other on Sunday night. However, Cagliari's asking price for the talented Italian is around €40milllions, a prohibited sum for Milan given the fact that the Rossoneri are currently in breach of the UEFA Financial Fair Play rules.
Contract Renewals
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, via Football Italia, AC Milan has offered a new contract to the vice-captain, Giacomo Bonaventura. The Italian is a critical part of Gattuso's plans and his current contract ends in 2020. Milan wants to extend his contract by 2 years with a much-improved salary as Bonaventura is currently earning around €2 per year.
Furthermore, Lucas Biglia confirmed that he would like to renew his contract with the club. In fact, after a mediocre last season, the Argentinian has been reborn in Milan's latest games. The club has not decided yet on his contract renewal (runs until 2020) but Biglia currently enjoys the trust of coach Gattuso and if he finds consistency in his performances, the negotiations for a new contract will eventually take place.
Biglia arrived at Milan from Lazio a year ago and he is one of the 3 players that must finally make a difference for the club this season.
The new CEO
AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni confirmed that the talks with Ivan Gazidis, currently the CEO of Arsenal, are ongoing.
The position of CEO at Milan has been vacant since Marco Fassone left the club and Gazidis has been the number one target of the Rossoneri's owners, Elliott Management since they took control of the club. Even though the negotiations were in deadlock earlier in September, it seems now that a deal is closer more than ever before to be achieved.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Gazidis is one step away from becoming AC Milan's CEO after the two parties are reportedly near an agreement with regards to the economic part of the deal.
