Maggio joins AC Milan wish-list Nadam se da ce preci Smile

Football Italia

As Adriano Galliani lists five strikers – including Didier Drogba, Emmanuel Adebayor and Dimitar Berbatov – Milan also move for Christian Maggio.

“There are negotiations in place and if a big name arrives then we will send out Alberto Paloschi on loan,” explained the general manager.

The newspapers have been full of reports linking them with various different players around the world, although Galliani broke his silence to confirm there was truth in some of those stories.

“The names are the ones you have been reading about: Eto’o, Drogba, Adebayor, Gomez and Berbatov. Any of them would be fine.”

Arsenal have already lost Mathieu Flamini to the Rossoneri on a free transfer and Arsene Wenger is determined not to see Adebayor leave as well.

"I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish," insisted 24-year-old Adebayor.

Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o is rumoured to be close to Inter, as is Drogba following Jose Mourinho’s arrival.

Tottenham forward Berbatov is looking for a new challenge away from the Premier League, while Mario Gomez plies his trade for Stuttgart.

Meanwhile, the Rossoneri have already captured Gianluca Zambrotta from Barcelona and are looking to bring in another wide player.

“Milan’s interest has become evident in the last few weeks, so they are talking to Sampdoria,” revealed Maggio’s agent, Massimo Briaschi on Radio Kiss Kiss.

“Napoli were also interested, but I haven’t met any of their representatives since January. At the moment we are in negotiations with the Rossoneri, but also waiting to see if there are any other offers.”

Right-winger Maggio has had his best ever season with Sampdoria, scoring nine goals in 29 Serie A appearances.

He was expected to be part of Italy’s Euro 2008 squad, but was not included in Roberto Donadoni’s list.
