Milan To Swoop For Schweinsteiger?

According to L’Equipe, Milan are hoping to sign Bastian Schweinsteiger, and are ready to meet the German international’s minimum fee release clause.

The Rossoneri have been very active on the transfer market this summer, having already snapped up the likes of Mathieu Flamini and Marco Borriello.

They are still looking to strengthen their squad, and a priority is an alternative to Kaka and Clarence Seedorf in the attacking midfield position.

L’Equipe says that the Diavoli are admirers of Bayern Munich’s Bastian Schweinsteiger, and are ready to meet his minimum fee release clause of €21.5m.

Schweinsteiger had a poor club season for Bayern, however he has been very impressive with Germany at Euro 2008, scoring once and assisting twice in the 3-2 quarter final win over Portugal on Thursday night.

However the 23-year-old is also wanted by a host of Premier League teams, and Chelsea are believed to be one of these.

“England does appeal and it is one of the best Leagues in the world,” Schweinsteiger told The Sunday Mail yesterday.

“I’ve always wanted to play there and we will see what happens this year.”
