Deco, Márquez And Zambrotta Tempt AC Milan
Quote:
AC Milan are weighing making a block bid to sign Deco, Rafael Márquez and Gianluca Zambrotta along with Ronaldinho from Barcelona at the end of the current season, according to a report.
The Italian giants are planning a rebuilding programme that has already seen them linked to several players joining the club and several established veterans leaving in the summer, AS state.
A deal to sign Ronaldinho looks set to be completed, but Milan could be tempted to make an offer for three other star names that may be leaving Camp Nou as Barça themselves look to make changes after another unconvincing campaign.
Zambrotta appears to be a done deal, but there has been no official announcement and the Blaugrana would welcome the chance to see both Deco and Márquez off-loaded. The Portuguese star's form and attitude has been a worry since the middle of last term and the fact that there has been little sign that he will return to his best, the club are prepared to let him leave.
Márquez too has seen competition in his positions rise with Gaby Milito coming in at centre back and Touré Yaya being signed to play as a defensive midfielder last summer. While the Mexican is still a popular figure at Barça, the chance to cash in on him and reinvest in other areas may well prove to be too tempting for president Joan Laporta and sporting director Txiki Begiristain.
Milan are set for a busy few months as their failure to compete in the league or in Europe has seen calls for an overhaul of the squad. Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko are certain to join, while there is space for virtually one player in every other position and the Barça trio could well fill in a few holes.

Are Milan really going to try and create their new revolution with 4 aging Barca rejects?
I don't think so, I'll pay for the combined postage if they do.
Although from a Barca point of view Milan have already pretty much signed Zambo and Ronnie so we'd like them to take Rafa in the same deal. No Rafa means Barca will go for a young replacement to be the no.2/no.3 CB, which will be Ezequiel Garay.
