Built in the ‘no’ to Galliani, the Spanish club tried again in the summer market. Meanwhile Milan think Cassano.

Alexander Pato

Sixty million for Pato. Is what has given Real Madrid to AC Milan for the Brazilian playmaker tag. Florentino Perez that after having spent about 250 million euros in the summer for various Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Xabi Alonso and Benzema (and beard to the continual proclamations of Michel Platini on the financial management of football clubs), he wanted to complete the blitz right now but had to collect the ‘no’ from Adriano Galliani.

The Rossoneri have indeed invested heavily on the young (only twenty completed on 2 September), and in key future but also for the present. Not only that the Via Turati club will, strong graft of David Beckham, compete with Inter in the league, and then there’s also the challenge against Manchester United in the Champions League.

Speech therefore closed? Nope: last year Kaka was also rejected in January and then moved to Real in the summer. At Santiago Bernabeu stadium and its surroundings are used to not give up. Not forget that AC Milan, with its debt management of 257 million, could yield to the temptation to cash.

The player, as well as pleasure to Galliani, would useful to Leonardo and his form with four offensive players (4-2-3-1 or 4-2-1-3), especially in case of transfer of Pato. He discussed again most probably in June.
