The Italian giants admitted centre-back Agger — still
to sort a new contract at Anfield — is on their radar. But Kop boss
Rafa Benitez will block any bids to land the Danish defender,
insisting he wants to keep his squad together to chase a first
Premier League title.
Agger, who also interested Real Madrid, missed most of
last season with a broken foot. But he has been outstanding since
getting his place back after Martin Skrtel’s knee ligament injury
in October.
Milan need replacements for San Siro legends Paolo
Maldini and Alessandro Nesta. The Serie A giants’ vice-president
Adriano Galliani said: “We have a list of three or four players —
Agger is one of them. In January we’ll sign one of them.”
Benitez also shot down reports he is ready to off-load
Andrea Dossena just six months after his £7m arrival from Udinese.
The Italian left-back recently lost his place to Emiliano Insua.
But the Argentine rookie is out for the next month after being
called up for the South American Under-20 Championships.
Benitez said: “I am not considering selling Dossena. It
is important to keep the squad together.”
