AC Milan want
Chelsea striker Claudio Pizarro
as part of the deal for Andrea Pirlo.
The Mail on Sunday says Pirlo, Italy's World
Cup-winning midfielder, is set to rejoin Carlo
Ancelotti at Chelsea in the next few days.
AC Milan are prepared to
accept an offer of £10million for Pirlo if they can take striker
Pizarro in the opposite direction.
The Italians have been trying to hold out for £14m for Pirlo,
although they are expected to lower their price tomorrow to set the
transfer in motion.
All parties are confident a deal can be done because the
30-year-old is very keen on the move and personal terms have
already been agreed.
Ancelotti wants Pirlo, who helped him win the Champions League
twice at AC Milan, to bring stability and technical excellence to
his first Premier League campaign.
