Veloso returns to Milan radar Friday 20 June, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso has insisted that he is free to leave his current employers, prompting suggestions that Milan will swoop.

The 22-year-old has been in the Rossoneri’s sights for some time, but Diavolo transfer guru Ariedo Braida has always stressed it would be tough to persuade Sporting to let him go.

Manchester United have reportedly expressed an interest in Veloso, which may be an obstacle for Milan, but it seems that a move to San Siro is by no means out of the question.

“When I get home I’m going to look at all the offers I have received and I will study them,” Veloso told Portuguese newspaper A Bola.

“At the moment I don’t know anything – all I know is that Milan are a big club. Sporting won’t lay down any obstacles if a good offer comes in for me.”

Veloso has previously stated that it would be a dream come true to wear the Diavolo shirt and can expect a call from the world champions shortly.
