Adriano Galliani has confirmed that Milan are looking to
bring in a top striker before the start of the new
season.
Milan had hoped to sign David Suazo from Cagliari but lost out
after a protracted tug-of-war with Internazionale.
The Rossoneri were also interested in Thierry Henry before he
decided to join Barcelona, but Galliani admits they could not have
afforded to pay the Frenchman's wages.
"It would not have been difficult to pay 24million (£16million) to
Arsenal, but the player's 10million (£6.7million) salary for us
was not sustainable," Galliani told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Now we will work to find a striker. The market is long and we will
move slowly, but it's clear that for the new arrival the only
sacrifice will be (Ricardo) Oliveira.
"I don't do names. There is time until the end of August and we
will take all of this to make the right choice."
Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has been linked with Milan and
Galliani remains determined to sign him.
However, Galliani is remaining realistic about Milan's chances of
getting the Cameroonian.
He explained: "For the moment he's not transferable and he says he
wants to stay at Barcelona.
"But Eto'o is at the top of our list, I've never hidden it."
