Tomasson rejects Depor approach

Jon Dahl Tomasson has disappointed at Milan this season, but insists he won’t be accepting a move to Deportivo La Coruna.

“I have said it before and I will say it again: I have a contract tying me to the Rossoneri until 2009 and will respect that,” pointed out the Dane.

“I am happy that other clubs are showing an interest in my services, but I do not wish to leave the San Siro.”

Tomasson has been one of the most likely candidates to move on in the summer after a campaign in which he netted eight goals in 39 appearances between Serie A, the Champions’ League and Coppa Italia.

It has been heavily reported that Deportivo La Coruna are willing to offer a three-year deal for the former Newcastle United and Feyenoord man, while several Premiership clubs were also interested.

Milan are looking to strengthen their strike force, although Hernan Crespo is increasingly likely to return to Chelsea once his loan period expires.

Spanish newspaper ‘As’ maintains that the Rossoneri are battling with Chelsea and Inter for the signature of Atletico Madrid starlet Fernando Torres.

Milan must sell him immediately!
