AC Milan After Real Madrid Midfielder

Brazilian midfielder Lucas Silva may change clubs in the next transfer window if reports coming from Italy are to be believed.

According to the information from Italian website Calcio Mercato, AC Milan director Adriano Galliani met with Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez to discuss a loan move for midfielder Lucas Silva, who spent this season on loan at French club Marseille.

For Marseille, he entered the field 33 times but the former Cruzeiro player doesn’t want to continue in French football after a mediocre season with the club where they finished in the bottom half of the league table.

Negotiations between Real Madrid and AC Milan would be similar to the one that took Spanish striker Álvaro Morata from the Bernabéu to Juventus.

Milan would have an option to buy Lucas permanently at the end of the loan contract, but Los Blancos will keep the right to repurchase him in the future, possibly for a fixed price.

Milan haven’t been the first Italian team to show interest in the player, as both Juventus and Napoli also keep an eye on him.

Mario Balotelli Does Not Deserve AC Milan Stay - Galliani

On-loan Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli “does not deserve” to join AC Milan on a permanent basis, says the Italian club’s chief executive.

Balotelli, 25, has scored three goals in 17 appearances this season for Milan, who sold him to the Reds for £16m in 2014.

“He has an immense desire to stay at the club. I hope he shows that with his performances,” said Adriano Galliani.

“I’ve told him that based on what he’s shown, he doesn’t deserve to stay.”

Italy international Balotelli is set to return to Liverpool after his loan spell ends in June.

“I told him to convince me that he should stay, as we want the best for him,” added Galliani.

“He has promised me he will do that and I hope he does.”

On Saturday sixth-placed Milan host Serie A leaders Juventus, who are six points clear of second-placed Napoli with seven games of the season remaining.
