Juventus and AC Milan battle for Barcelona’s Zambrotta
April 23, 2008
Sensational news are out and it is reported that Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan are rivaling each other for the signature of Barcelona and Italian international fullback Gianluca Zambrotta.
It is reported that Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has admitted that he wants to bring Zambrotta back to Italy at the end of this season.
Meanwhile, it was also reported that a Juve source has told the media that Zambrotta is also on their agenda and even though two years ago he jumped ship when the club was demoted to Serie B as part of the Calciopoli scandal.
Zambrotta is a very fast player and can play in all position at the back, or as a winger for both club and country. Zambrotta’s ability to play in multiple positions on either flank contributes great flexibility to the Italian squad, and earned him a place in the 23 man 2006 World Cup All-Star squad.

Kaka wants AC Milan to start shopping
March 15, 2008
Reports are out that AC Milan midfield maestro Kaka has called on his club to bring in more young players in the mould of fellow Brazilian Alexandre Pato to the club.
The World Player of the Year said that Milan has to understand that the current cycle is ending and that they must begin another one. Kaka also went on to add that the day will come when all the players will have to end their careers which also includes him.
The Brazilian also went on to add that Milan must sign young players who can absorb the winning mentality in order to make the club as successful as the current squad and over a long period of time of those who are already here and develop them in the same manner.
Kaká began his club career with São Paulo at the age of eight. He signed a contract at 15 and led the SPFC youth squad to Copa de Juvenil glory. Kaká made his senior side debut in January 2001 and scored 12 goals in 27 appearances, in addition to leading São Paulo to its first and only Torneio Rio-São Paulo championship. He scored 10 in 22 matches the following season, and by this time his performance was soon attracting attention from European clubs.
AC Milan, fresh from winning the 2003 Champions League, brought him aboard in 2003 for $8.5 million, a fee described in hindsight as “peanuts” by club owner Silvio Berlusconi. Within a month, he cracked the starting lineup, and has remained there ever since.
