Milan have joined Juventus in the reported race to sign Arsenal
midfield starlet Mathieu Flamini.
The young Frenchman, still just 24, may be up for grabs on a Bosman
at the end of the season after failing to agree terms with the
London club over an extension.
Juventus, despite publicly insisting that they are not tracking the
midfielder, have been linked and the Rossoneri are now said to be
keen too.
The latest transfer whispers doing the rounds in the streets of
Europe’s fashion capital suggest that the San Siro giants are
prepared to offer him a four-year contract worth £2m a
season.
Flamini, who impressed Milan scouts during Arsenal’s victorious
Champions League ties against the Italians recently, is being
viewed as a possible replacement for Yoann Gourcuff.
The latter, heralded as the new Zinedine Zidane, could be on his
way out of the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza after failing to deliver on
his potential.
In an odd twist, Gourcuff may actually end up at the Emirates
Stadium given Arsene Wenger’s understood admiration for the former
Under-21 French international.
AC Milan can just F*** off.
