Robinho refuses Besiktas

AC Milan new attacking midfielder Keisuke Honda has been introduced today to the press, and Friday it will be the turn of 27 year old defender Adil Rami; but the rossoneri need to sign more players to reinforce their team, which is having many difficulties in the current season.

The Lombard club want to sign a midfielder, but, as explained by its Chief Executive Adriano Galliani, it must first sell some of its players. The main candidates to leave “San Siro” are 31 year old center back Philippe Mexes and 30 year old forward Alessandro Matri: this latter, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, could be yielded to Sampdoria –with 18 year old Andrea Petagna that would move back to Milan- or to Lazio, to obtain an option for 28 year old midfielder Hernanes; moreover, according to Sky transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, also Fiorentina are interested in the former Juventus player, while 29 year old Robinho has refused an offer made by Besiktas. In the mean time, interviewed by Sky Sport, Galliani himself has been quite elusive about the possibility to sign FC Porto 27 year old Fernando Francisco Reges.Also city rivals Inter Milan need to sell some of their players, and, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, the nerazzurri have found a definitive agreement for the transfer to West Ham of 21 year old Ishak Belfodil, who should join the Hammers on loan with right to buy.(calciomercato.com)ANN.Az
