Manchester United's Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi is
reportedly a target for Champions League holders AC Milan in his
homeland.
The Italian Under-21 international, who has failed to nail down a
regular first-team place at Old Trafford, will slip further down
Sir Alex Ferguson's pecking order if United complete the signing of
Carlos Tevez from West Ham.
Rossi endured an unsuccessful loan spell at Premiership side
Newcastle in the first half of last season, before United agreed to
loan him to Serie A side Parma in the January transfer window. And,
after he fired the goals to keep them in the Italian top flight,
Parma made a £6million bid to keep him on a permanent basis, but
Rossi expressed a desire to stay at United.
However reports in Italy on Sunday are suggesting Milan will now
make an offer for Rossi and the player is thought to be interested
in making the switch to the San Siro.
Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti is set to be left with just three
forwards ahead of next season, in the shape of Ronaldo, Alberto
Gilardino and veteran Pippo Inzaghi, as Ricardo Oliveira is on the
verge of joining Real Zaragoza on loan. And a bid for Rossi could
be in the reckoning after vice-President Adriano Galliani holds
transfer talks with owner Silvio Berlusconi on Tuesday.
