AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is confident that he will get a new contract extension with
the club as his current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2012. According To Allegri, the
club is set to offer him a two year extension that will see him stay with the Rossonerri for two
more years.
So the January transfer madness is almost upon us and tonight we are told by a Spanish paper
that Arsenal have contacted AC Milan and offered 30M Euros for the incredibly decent Alexandre Pato
if this happened, it would easily be the greatest transfer in the Wenger era.
The duck, as Pato is affectionately known as in Brazil, is one hell of a talented striker and
just the kind of speedy, clinical type we have needed at the club since Henry left.

It's getting sirius in the Champions League, people. Our manicure and drinking schedules are
not equipped to deal with this much mania so early in the tournament.
With reports emerging about an agreement between Milan and Manchester City outcast Carlos Tevez,
there are many who believe the Argentina striker will be a big addition to the star studded
Rossoneri squad. However, the Citizens have yet to negotiate with Milan and there is no guarantee
the transfer will go through during the January window.
AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has finally spoken out on the Carlos Tevez transfer saga saying
that the Argentine has the choice between joining a prestigious side like Milan or moving to a club
that is able to meet his financial requirements.
Commanding a weekly wage of £200,000, Tevez does not come cheap and it is this fact that it the
bone of contention between his club City and Milan.
AC Milan recently held a Christmas party (of course, 'Natale'
is incredibly important for the land of the Pope!) where players, coaches, staff and sponsors were
invited to mingle, eat cheese and look bloody fabulous. Everyone needs to take a leaf out of these
smoldering Italians' books.
Reports linking Milan striker Alexandre Pato have been gaining pace in the last week. The player
himself has expressed his discontent with Max Allegri and it has been rumoured that Paris
Saint-Germain have offered €50 million for his services – with the deal already agreed in
principle between the two clubs.
... and all through the land, rumours, scandal and transfer talk were at hand! What better way
to end the year here at Futbolita, at least where calcio is concerned, with a look at what lies
ahead in the upcoming year?
Barbara Berlusconi – daughter of disgraced former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi,
member of Milan's board of directors, and Alexandre Pato's girlfriend – has been the subject of
much speculation as of late, with many gossip magazines claiming the beautiful blonde is carrying
Pato's child.
