Bronzetti - "All teams want Acelotti"

Carlo Ancelotti is “the most sought-after Coach in the football universe,” reveals transfer guru Ernesto Bronzetti.

The tactician’s contract with Milan expires in 2010 and he will be released if they fail to finish in the top three this season.

“Ancelotti is the most sought-after Coach in the football universe,” said the specialist in the Liga market.

“He is wanted by Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Roma.

“There is a great fondness between Ancelotti and [Vice-President Adriano] Galliani. Because of this they will only decide what to do at the end of May.”

The Coach has won the Champions League twice and reached three Finals, also lifting the Scudetto, Coppa Italia, Italian Super Cup, two UEFA Super Cups and the 2007 Club World Cup.

Real Madrid are also very keen to bring in another Milan figure, Kaka, but Bronzetti does not hold out much hope.

“Real still don’t have a President, although what I hear in Spain suggests Florentino Perez has it sealed up.

“He will make three big splashes on the transfer market. His main dream is Kaka, but it’s going to be very difficult to pry him away from Milan.

“It’s going to be a very quiet summer for most clubs compared to past years, because only two sides have any real money – Real Madrid and Manchester City, with Chelsea and Bayern Munich lagging behind.”

Bronzetti also commented on how Inter can move forward following Adriano’s decision to take a sabbatical from football.

“As a fan I hope Adriano can get back on track psychologically. Of course if before we were talking about a player worth 35-40m Euros, then now Inter must loan him out until he can find himself.

“It won’t be easy finding him a buyer because of the many problems he has had. There are still many who admire the Brazilian, but they certainly won’t invest heavily in him.

“Adriano keeps saying he wants to quit, then begin again. He needs to find someone who truly admires him, but with his wage demands it all seems very difficult.”

Kaka - "Milan needs a Gerrard"

Kaka has warned Milan have reached “the end of an era and need to renew this squad,” starting from his pick Steven Gerrard.

The Rossoneri have long been criticised for their ageing team and even the Ballon d’Or winner admits the time has come to make sweeping changes.

“We are reaching the end of an era and another will begin,” he told Sky Italia television.

“Perhaps this is an historic moment and the time has come to renew this squad with so many players at the end of their contracts and others who can come in.

“We can create a mix of experienced players and youngsters who are very hungry for success.”

Among those packing their bags at the end of this season are Paolo Maldini, Emerson, Giuseppe Favalli and possibly Nelson Dida.

“I like modern players who know how to attack and defend,” continued Kaka. “If it were up to me then I’d sign someone like Gerrard, who I think is the complete package.

“He can play anywhere, as a trequartista, deep midfielder or on the right. I think he’d fit in very well at Milan.”

The usual reports in Spain suggest Real Madrid are making another mega bid for Kaka, but their former Coach Bernd Schuster isn’t buying it any more.

“I doubt Kaka or Cristiano Ronaldo will come. It would be a miracle,” he told newspaper Marca.

Ronaldinho - "I'm feeling so good"

Milan ace Ronaldinho is determined to help the Rossoneri secure their Champions League qualification berth.

The Brazilian has had a season of ups and downs at San Siro, but he has made an impressive contribution in recent weeks.

“This is a very important stage in the season,” Ronaldinho said on the Milan Channel.

“I am happy that I am feeling so good on a personal level at this time as I have recovered from my injury problems.

“I feel like I'm ready to give a real hand to this team. As a team we are playing better and picking up important points.

“The whole squad is focused on the objective of Champions League qualification and my personal target is to keep playing better and better.”

Milan have two consecutive home games looming against Torino and Palermo.

“With the help of our fans we must take advantage of these two matches and continue on the path back to the Champions League,” Dinho stressed.

“Then in May we have a crunch match against Juventus. We need to play the best we can before that so that we are ready.”

Milan lead fourth-placed Genoa by four points and Fiorentina in fifth by six.

Seedorf said keeps positive

Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf has commented on Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea links and this season's Champions League.

After a disappointing campaign, Rossoneri tactician Ancelotti has been widely tipped to move to Stamford Bridge.

“The rumours are absolutely true!” Seedorf joked on Sky Sport Italia.

“They have been saying these things for the last four years, but he has always stayed in the end.

"We have a very good relationship. Everything that's being said today could be denied tomorrow.

"Would I join him if he went to Chelsea? I prefer to keep my feet on the ground and concentrate on what needs to be done. My experience tells me that is the right thing to do."

Milan have been forced to sit out this season's Champions League after finishing fifth in Serie A last term.

"It's difficult to stay at the top level every year, and last season Milan did not deserve to be there," Seedorf admitted.

"I think it's good because it gives us the right hunger to compete again. It's also good for great champions to go through a season like this.

"Like all European teams, Italian teams are losing to the English sides.

“It's only in the last few years that they've started to play good football there, before they only played with long balls.

"I don't think there are that many problems with Italian football, this is just a temporary phase where other teams are slightly faster, stronger, in better shape."

Ancelotti - "We believe in second place"

Carlo Ancelotti has gone from clinging to a Champions League spot to leading the charge on Juventus in second place.

There are only two points now separating the teams and that could be wiped out this weekend when Juve welcome Serie A leaders Inter to Turin.

“We believe in second place, because at this moment Juventus are falling back,” the Coach told Milan Channel.

“The Bianconeri need to be wary, as do we, but they have to play Inter and for us this provides extra motivation to catch up.”

The 1-0 victory away to Chievo was the fourth in their last five games and now the Rossoneri are closing in on the runner-up spot.

“The three points we earned in Verona were important for our position in the table. Nobody lets go in the top spots and it is Milan’s duty to keep up with the others.

“Even if our team performance wasn’t fantastic, it was important to win so we could maintain our advantage over Genoa and Fiorentina, while Roma are a little further back. We must be alert, though, as one slip-up could compromise everything.”

Last season Milan failed to qualify for the Champions League and the club has hinted anything less than third place will see Ancelotti replaced.

He has struggled throughout the campaign with an injury crisis and will miss Christian Abbiati, Kakha Kaladze, Daniele Bonera, Marco Borriello, Emerson, Gennaro Gattuso and the suspended Marek Jankulovski for this week’s game with Torino.

“It was not the best performance against Chievo, but the team played with focus and concentration. The result came thanks to the determination we put on to the field.”

The star player of the victory at the Bentegodi was previously pilloried Nelson Dida, who has rediscovered his form after Abbiati’s knee ligament injury.

“Dida is reaping the rewards of all the hard work he did when he wasn’t playing, as he has recovered physically and is back to the reliable goalkeeper he was in the past. Most of the credit goes to him and the effort he put in during these months.”

Amauri on Milan list

There are renewed reports that Milan are preparing a sensational swoop for Juventus ace Amauri.

The Rossoneri were keen to sign the Brazilian marksman when he was at Palermo, but Juve beat them to his signature.

Amauri has been a great success in Turin and has adapted impressively to life at one of the peninsula's giants.

Meanwhile, Milan have struggled and are expected to ring the changes this summer in a bid to rejuvenate their underachieving squad.

According to Tuttosport, the Diavolo are convinced that Amauri is the answer to their problems and have already discussed the player with Bianconeri officials.

Brazilian sporting director Leonardo is also said to have met with Amauri to try and persuade him to end his Juve adventure early.

However, it still seems extremely unlikely that Amauri will be willing to move and that Juve would sell him for anything less a fortune.

Furthermore, Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has warned Rossoneri fans not to expect huge spending this summer and doesn't seem to be planning to break the bank.
