AC Milan Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has confirmed that David Beckham will return to AC Milan
in January.
Not a lot of love going on for Leonardo, Adriano Galliani, and Silvio Berlusconi after Milan's
collapse to Inter.
Berlusconi's call "Milan, believe in yourselves" is answered with derision.
Believe what? The tales of Santa Claus?
But when will we begin to wake up and not give 'even one euro' to this team as long there is
Galliani and Berlusconi?
It's still a few months before the start of the European soccer leagues and teams are stating to
make moves in the transfer market. Here are some of the latest transfer stories.
AC Milan looking at Adebayor - "AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed
he has talked to Arsenal about the possibility of signing Emmanuel Adebayor.
09 June 2009: Kaká has signed a six-year contract and will earn
€9,120,000 a year at the Santiago Bernabeu. As expected, he'll wear the famous number "5″ shirt
previously worn by legends Fabio Cannavaro and Zinedine Zidane.
"Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, Kaka, is a Real Madrid player after an agreement was reached
with AC Milan.
1. European champions Barcelona have made a big-money offer for Palmeiras striker Keirrison.
According to Brazilian media, Barcelona have bid 15 million euros ($20.90 million) for the
20-year-old. (Reuters)
2. Panathinaikos made a double swoop for Olympique Marseille striker Djibril Cisse and Benfica
midfielder Kostas Katsouranis on Friday.
Everybody knows that the fierce rivals from Milano have been sharing the same
stadium in the past few decades, which is one of the reason for the low revenues of both
clubs. In the last few days Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and Inter president Massimo
Moratti have gone public about their plans for the San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
The latest on the Kaka transfer saga is, City's '£100m' Bid For Kaka Flops and the question
now is.... do Manchester City Sports Barons, excuse me Oil Barons lose face? I don't think they do
however stay tuned as British media back pedal in attempts to make this an AC Milan faux pas even
though it always smelt fishy.
Cristiano Ronaldo's chances of joining Real Madrid have taken a blow. The Spanish club are set to
name Florentino Perez as their new president on Monday. But the man who was responsible for the
Galactico era at Real admits he wants AC Milan star Kaka as his first signing. Perez has already
held talks with Milan vice president [.
For AC Milan in Saturday's fabled Derby della Madonnina, Gennaro Gattuso's nightmare
came true. If not for Inter's new-look, new-effect attack, poor Captain Rino would be carrying all
responsibility for the unbalanced result (AC Milan 0:4 Inter).
Inter earned three (and perhaps all four) of their strikes, yet more could not have gone wrong
in one half of play for the feisty AC Milan defensive midfielder as he returns from long-term
injury to snatch back his position from the interloping Galaxy star, a certain D Beckham.
Spanish radio station Cadena Ser is reporting Kaka has signed a €65million (£56million)
deal with Real Madrid. Kaka's camp has countered noting that while an approach is certain, the deal
is not.
Kaka's father and agent, Bosco Leite, suggested that a deal was agreed following discussions
between Real president Florentino Perez and AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani with Leite in
attendance.

It's good to know that Uncle Galliani isn't looking to increase Milan's bid for David Beckham.
After all, he wasn't exactly the player we were all looking out for. He was only supposed to be
here for three months. It'd be nice to keep him, but we highly doubt the tifosi will be out on
[...]
There's been a mild bit of speculation as to the future of one Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite the
last 24 hours or so. Just a bit. The latest is that Milan will happily sell their prized Brazilian
for the GDP of a small country. A sum which Florentino Perez & Co. are more than chuffed [...]
Having earned big bucks from Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid, it seems that Milan will
invest some of the money to bring Bundesliga hot shot, Edin Dzeko into their fold.
Arsenal, Manchester City and the host of other clubs are also interested in signing the excellent
Bosnian but it is thought that the player prefers Italian Serie A.
1. Manchester City have made a "stratospheric" offer to Samuel Eto'o according to Barcelona
president Joan Laporta. (Various)
2. German champions VfL Wolfsburg are refusing to sell Edin Dzeko to AC Milan, the Bosnian striker
said on Sunday.
"Wolfsburg won't let me go. Everyone knows that Milan are the team of my dreams but I can not do
anything," the 23-year-old told Italy's Sky television.
Holy Lord that is frightening.

AC Milan have made clear a Beckham desire but also explain the star midfielder is a LA Galaxy
player up to the Winter transfer window. AC Milan general manager Adriano Galliani has told the
club's official website: "Our agreement with the Galaxy is very clear. "We obtained what we
desired, which was to keep David until the end of the season.
Should he be appointed Chelsea manager, will Ancelloti continue his trophy throwing antics at
Stamford Bridge?
I think we are all about 90% sure now that Carlo Ancelotti is to take the reigns at Stamford
Bridge. Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani confirmed last week that the club will make a
statement on Ancelotti's future this coming monday, after achieving Champions League
qualification.
It's the news bomb of this afternoon, picked up by all the localmedia, AC MILAN Vice President
Adriano Galliani & therepresentative of KAKA his father Bosco Leite are currently inMadrid – this
afternoon – in a meeting with REAL MADRIDPresident Florentino Perez at his ACS Construction
Multinationaloffices.
The transfer market is heating up the summer offseason is underway. Several teams, including
Manchester City will be spending money to look to break into the top 4 while Real Madrid could be
going after several superstars. For Man City, they have signed Aston Villa star Gareth Barry and
will probably sign several more players this summer.
Brazilian playmaker Kaka has signed for Real Madrid from AC Milan in a £56 million deal,
according to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.
The report flies in the face of several earlier statements from the player that he would not
leave Milan, claiming that newly-installed Real president Florentino Perez reportedly sealed the
deal with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and Bosco Leite, Kaka's father and agent.
UPDATE: According to ESPN Soccernet, Wolfsburg striker
Edin Dzeko is not for sale. AC Milan club administrator
Adriano Galliani said,
"Wolfsburg have declared the player is not for sale ... But we will try again because he is
our top aim, without a doubt.
The firesale continues at AC. And Silvio Berlusconi has effectively taken over the coaching
reins. There is no sign of Leonardo or Adriano Galliani.
Andrea Pirlo is on the transfer block. Massimo Ambrosini might be gone if his year extension is
not approved. It gives the impression of a club in serious financial distress as Berlusconi
repeatedly stressed the state of club accounts as responsible for the present predicament.
AC Milan club administrator Adriano Galliani told the Italian media how their number one target
this summer is Edin Džeko although Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor is a target as well.
He said:
We are only looking for a forward, and our aim is Dzeko. If we fail to get Dzeko then (Sevilla
striker) Luis Fabiano could be an alternative - as could Adebayor.
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed he has talked to Arsenal about the
possibility of signing Emmanuel Adebayor.
The Rossoneri's first choice remains Wolfsburg forward Edin Dzeko but with the Bundesliga club
remaining firm that he is not for sale, Milan are starting to look at alternatives.
Morning Insiders - Sundays news round up looks like this:
Sky Sports - AC confirm Ade interest
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has confirmed the Serie A giants are interested in signing
Emmanuel Adebayor. Read More...
Daily Star - Weng's £40M Rib Bid
ARSENAL have entered the race to land French ace Franck Ribery – for a club record
£40million.
It's sad when you type in 'AC Milan' into photo slug boxes and Kaka's Real Madrid Welcome
Party is the first result to come up. Can't Uncle Fester Galliani and
gang organize a golf tournament or charity match to keep the fans occupied? Have Milan even been
doing anything at all?
The reason why Adebayor has decided to recommit himself to Arsenal probably has less to do with
a new found fervour to set the record straight and more to do with clubs losing interest in a high
priced striker with an inconsistent work ethic and output.
Last season, his renewed commitment was the equivalent of crying wolf.
1. Chelsea have signed Russian international Yuri Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow for a reported £18m
fee. (Various) What now for Cashley?
2. Steve Bruce wants to make an "impact signing" this week in the 6ft 7in shape of Portsmouth's
Peter Crouch. Sunderland's new manager is understood to be prepared to pay up to £14m for the
England striker and has made his pursuit the club's top priority.
I just got back from vacation so I won't have time to put up a mega Serie A preview like I
would've wanted, but by now we have an idea at where the 20 Serie A clubs stand for the coming
season. So Serie A finally kicks off tomorrow with Bologna-Fiorentina and Siena-Milan, and the rest
of the games come our way on Sunday.
Ha segnato un bel gol contro il Giappone, dimostrando di essere sulla via della migliore
condizione. E, a pochi giorni dalla ripresa della Serie A di Calcio, l'olandese del Milan, Klaas
Huntelaar chiede (o meglio pretende) un posto in squadra. Dal ritiro della sua nazionale,
l'attaccante, ex Real (8 gol in venti partite disputate con le merengues), non si nasconde e il
messaggio che manda al club e al mister rossonero è chiaro: "Ora mi aspetto un posto da titolare".
(Summary is not available.)
Florentino ya tiene su arma de destrucción masiva de cara a las elecciones: Ricardo Izecson dos
Santos Leite, más conocido cómo Kaká. La actual estrella del Milán, que ya estuviese a punto de
irse al Manchester City hace unos meses, dejaría la entidad italiana por una cantidad que
rondaría los 60 millones de euros, a pagar en cuatro años por el ex presidente madridista.

This week in Chelsea football has been dominated by rumors involving Carlo Ancelotti.
The current AC Milan manager was strongly linked with the Blues' vacant managerial position in
the summer and now it appears the 49-year-old is at the top of the list once again. Stories have
varied, with some going as far as to say a pre-contract agreement has already been struck between
the two parties.
Real Madrid president-elect Florentino Perez is on the verge of launching an audacious double
transfer swoop for Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka. The 24-year-old Manchester United star was linked to
the Spanish giants when Perez was last president back in 2006. And Perez has indicated that "an
agreement" is in place to sign Ronaldo in the summer if [.
According to ESPN Soccernet, AC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti
has decided to leave the club, which pretty much means he will be joining Chelsea.
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said,
"Leonardo is our new coach and will be presented at the San Siro tomorrow at
midday.
