Milan on right-back track
Thursday 30 March, 2006--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milan have claimed that they have no plans to buy any central defenders once the transfer window opens at the end of the season.
The Rossoneri have been linked with numerous stoppers given the imminent departure of Jaap Stam and the age of Paolo Maldini, as well as Billy Costacurta.
However, the club’s Vice-President has insisted that a new right-back – where Stam has been used during his San Siro career – is their priority.
“We are well covered in the central roles,” stated Adriano Galliani after Kakha Kaladze’s recent impressive displays there.
“If someone does come in then it will be on the right. Who will that be? We’ll have to wait and see…”
Lazio full-back Massimo Oddo is believed to be their top priority even if the capital club insist that he is not for sale.
The Italian giants have also been linked with Francois Clerc and Anthony Reveillere of Lyon, as well as their central defensive colleague Cris.
Another option for the right is Chelsea and France’s William Gallas, who is also a target for Italian giants Juventus.
Milan’s need for a new player in that position could become even greater if rumours that Marcos Cafu will rejoin Sao Paulo turn out to be true.
