Transfer Rumours at Milan

New manager Peter Schmeichel is said to be in the market for some new players. However to get the quality Milan need, they will have to offload some players. There are a number of rumours flying around involving arrivals and departures:

• It is reported Tottenham, Sporting Lisbon and a number of other clubs are willing to bid for defensive midfielder Nigel De Jong. The dutch midfielder has lacked appearances under Schmeichel and the Great Dane wants around 12m for the player.

• AC Milan are preparing a 15m bid for Sampdoria midfielder Pedro Obiang. Schmeichel wants more strength in his midfield and he sees the Spaniard as the perfect candidate

• It is rumoured Liverpool want to buy winger El Shaaraway. However Milan are not willing to let the Italian go, especially in the shadow of Mario Balotelli's injury.

• AC Milan are in the market for a new goalkeeper. Abbiati and Amelia are both ageing and Schmeichel wants a young, fresh goalie to be a long standing replacement

Obiang is a great talent, I hope you can get him, although 15m might be too steep a price

If you are looking to replace Abbiati, may I suggest Mattia Perrin (spelling?) if you want an Italian one. Fraser Forster, Ron-Robert Zieler, Bernd Leno, Rafael, ter-Stegen would all make great choices. Waiting for the next update

One in, one out

Two transfers have been confirmed by AC Milan today. One arrival and one departure.

The arrival is Pedro Obiang for a reported fee of 15.75m. Although what would seem a fairly high fee, Schmeichel has full faith Obiang will live up to expectations. The spaish midfielder arrived from Italian club Sampdoria. He made 88 appearances in his time their from joining form Atletico Madrid from a very young age. Although not yet broken into the Spanish first team, the young midfielder has made 18 U21 appearances. Obiang is still only 21 and has his whole career ahead of him and has bags of potential.


The departure from Milan was Dutch midfielder Nigel De Jong. The player left for 12.5m to Napoli. The player joined Milan in the 2012/13 season from Manchester City for 3.5m and went on to make 17 appearances that season. However this season the midfielder has made just 4 appearances for Milan. Only one since October. Clearly he was not part of Schmeichel's plans. Milan will be pleased they managed to make sucj a profit on the player.

Pedro was awesome for me when I used him so he will probably do the same for you - and I think that's quite a great deal for Nigel de Jong too Keep it up.

Hopefully he will perform. Thanks mate!

Good signings mate. Good price for De Jong as well

2013-06-01 19:02#107668 neal09 : Good signings mate. Good price for De Jong as well

thanks! I was very happy for the sale of de Jong. Especially to think e club paid just 3.5m for him

Good updates mate great signing in Obiang and nice work getting that much for De Jong, he's only going to get worse

Great updates and a great story, good job in signing Obiang even if the price is a bit steep the high profit made on De Jong wil hopefully help repay that.

Krups - Thanks! De Jong was 29 and didn't fit into my tactic, so he had to go!

Edu - Thanks mate! I felt i had to get Obiang because other clubs wanted him as well, hopefully he will live up to the price tag!
