BREAKING NEWS BIG UDPATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :

Huntelaar deal scuppered as yet another player fails a milan medical

The Rossoneri's mercato woes continue as yet another player is deemed unfit ... According to milan's esteemed chief medical official Dr. Pierre Messerman, the Real Madrid striker is suffering from a severe case of split ends. This hair root problem is believed to be linked with a far more serious muscle tissue damage. This has stalled negotiations indefinitely although Adriano Galliani has indicated that Milan may still be willing to buy the player at a cut price of €5Million and a bottle of conditioner.

The average of the talented entrepreneur of 15 years, Linus Sjöberg, revealed this Wednesday that the "Rossoneri" entered the race for player of Vasteras Sweden, which is at the moment to undertake a period of experience at Manchester United.

Sjöberg believe is a great promise in Sweden, and its representative is now the "monster" of the Series A is following the young player.

"The Milan has stated its interest in, that's right. We started him in Man Utd but the Milan is also an option.They think that Sjöberg is a very interesting player and are impressed with his technique., "Said the agent Per Jonsson to" Fotbolldirekt.

Manchester United have handed a trial to Swedish youngster Linus Sjoberg.

For some time the Red Devils have tended to look to the overseas market for young talent, believing the current FA academy rules on travelling time are restrictive.

Sjoberg, 15, was spotted by United's Scandinavian scouting network and is expected to link up with the club on trial later this summer.

"You have to be cautious dealing with the social and footballing parts as the social environment is important when you are younger," agent Martin Klette told Fotbollskanalen.

"There are both good and bad foreign clubs, as there are good and bad Swedish clubs.

"People have a tendency to focus on younger players that have had problems abroad and forget that there are very good clubs to grow in abroad."

Filippo Galli, ex-Milan centre-back and currently a youth team coach at the club, has exclusively told Goal.com Italia that Real Madrid forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar could be as successful as current Milan legend Filippo Inzaghi.

The Dutchman is expected to undergo a medical later today and could officially complete his transfer to Milan as early as this evening.

"I like [Huntelaar] a lot, he is a great striker," Galli enthused. "He is a finisher like few others, but he also works hard for the team. In short, he is a player of great value.

"We can say that he is very similar [to Filippo Inzaghi]. He has the same hunger for goals but is a few years younger. Of course, there is only one Inzaghi but Huntelaar is very similar."

Galli, who played 217 times for the Rossoneri during a 13-year spell with the club (1983-1996), also criticised those who have claimed that the former Ajax striker was a failure at Real Madrid.

"He is not a fall back, this should be clear," Galli added, making reference to Milan's earlier moves for Edin Dzeko and Luis Fabiano. "Whoever says that he has failed at Real Madrid is making a mistake. He scored eight times, despite playing very little.

"I believe that he and Luis Fabiano were the first choices. In the end it was he who arrived after a decision made by [coach] Leonardo and the staff."

Fishdoll remains hopeful that the Huntelaar deal will happen but, well, no picture of Huntelaar holding up the jersey or of him at training with the squad.

The Snejder to cugini deal was scuppered several days ago - and basically because Real just don't want to sell Snejder - Pellegrini wants to keep the player.

There's nothing official on de Silvestri to Fiorentina yet but there's been talk about negotiations for some days.

Update: Galliani iniates negotations for silvestri. We have three options going in. 8m bid. swap of abate and silvestri. 3m plus co-own abate.

did u get it from TMW or some place else bcoz i only read abt swap deal although 8 ml cash would be best or 3m co-own i dont want milan to sell abate

Finally Milan fans have something to smile about. Or do they? After a summer of doom and gloom, during which the Italian giants sold star man Kaka to Real Madrid, lost eternal legend and captain Paolo Maldini to retirement, and saw long-term coach Carlo Ancelotti move to Chelsea and replaced by rookie Leonardo – not to mention the collapse of Aly Cissokho’s transfer from Porto – Milan finally made their move on the transfer market.

It was reported in the Italian and Spanish media yesterday evening that Real Madrid striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar would be joining for €15 million, and this morning Milan general manager Adriano Galliani confirmed that the transfer would be completed after the Dutchman arrives at San Siro this evening and successfully completes a medical.

Milan have been written off in many quarters, but will the signing of Huntelaar help them challenge this season for major honours? A selection of Goal.com editors from around the world have their say on whether the 25-year-old will be a Top or Flop…

Ewan Macdonald (Goal.com International): It's good for Huntelaar, who will always be a decent enough poacher, but is it good for Milan? He is clearly and abundantly a distant third choice after Dzeko and Fabiano, they've spent €15m on him, and he's also a guy who was rejected by Real Madrid after just six months. He is in every sense a cast-off.

When I was growing up Milan wouldn't have been seen dead signing another team's nobody. Now it's expected of them. Very sad.

Francois Duchateau (Goal.com France): I saw ‘The Hunter’ a lot at Ajax, and I'm sure he will be the next Marco van Basten at Milan. Mark my words. Now he has a club that counts on him. I'm happy he didn’t go to Stutgart. He will be the next star in Italy, after the exit of Ibrahimovic.

Sergio Stanco (Goal.com Italy): He is not the forward that Milan are looking for. For years Ancelotti said that Milan needed a big player, who will be able to hold the attack, to open the defence and so on. Leonardo asked the same, and Dzeko, Luis Fabiano and even Claudio Pizarro are these kind of players.

Is Huntelaar the same? Not in my opinion, he's just a goalscorer, a younger Pippo Inzaghi. My impression? Leonardo said: “I need a forward”, Berlusconi answered “You have €15m”, and Adriano Galliani took the only good striker on the market at that price. We'll see if he's the right player.

Tommy Vaneldik (Goal.com Netherlands): Huntelaar is one of the best finishers in football at this moment. He's definitely a good addition to the Milan squad. He showed that at Ajax, and also in the Dutch national team and the youths that won the European Championship in Portugal in 2006. The fact that Real Madrid don't want him anymore is not the fault of Huntelaar, but of Real. The way this club is governed is a joke. They buy a striker for a huge bag of euros and six months later this guy isn't even good enough to get a squad number? Unbelievable!

His statistics at Real weren't that bad last season (20 games, 8 goals in La Liga) and if they would have given him a chance he could have become a good player at Real. But instead they throw players and coaches away like garbage and just buy new ones. And if they have a couple of bad games the same thing starts again and this will happen over and over again. Is it just a coincidence that the last European successes of Real Madrid were during the era of Vicente del Bosque, a coach who was allowed to stay for more than year and had the opportunity to build something up? And what about the way he was sacked?

Milan can be happy about their new striker. In addition, this could be very good for the image of the Serie A in the Netherlands. Finally a Dutch player with a big name is going to play in Italy (with the exception of Clarence Seedorf, which is a very different and complicated story...) and that's very important. The way Dutch football lovers look at the Serie A at this moment is not very positive. They all prefer the Premier League and La Liga over here and even the Bundesliga is more popular. So, a good Dutch role model is very good for the perception of the Italian League in the Netherlands. And the way Real Madrid treat Huntelaar (and the other players like Rafael van der Vaart and Michel Salgado) is a total disgrace!

Carlo Garganese (Goal.com International): Huntelaar reminds me very much of a young David Trezeguet, and if the supply is good you would expect him to score a lot of goals. If the supply is bad, he may be anonymous. Whether he will prove to be the "world class" striker that Berlusconi promised remains to be seen. Although he scored goals galore in Holland, he is still relatively unproven in a big league after his short term experience in Spain, so we won't know for sure until Serie A kicks off.

What I do believe though is that the blend between Huntelaar and Pato in attack is good. As ‘types’ they will compliment each other very well. Much will depend on how Ronaldinho does, and if he can feed Klaas. Whatever the outcome, the signing of Huntelaar is not enough - Milan still need a midfielder and a full back, and if they don't buy them this season could still be very rough.

It is a good first step, but Milan still need more.

André Baibich (Goal.com Brazil): I think Huntelaar is a good signing for the €15m that Milan wanted to spend on a new centre forward. He has the talent to blossom with the opportunity of playing frequently, something he didn't have at Madrid. For me, it's a step down in quality if you compare him to Luis Fabiano, but he still is a fine player. Nevertheless, I agree with Carlo when he says it's not enough. A creative midfielder is urgent to replace Kaka. Milan can't rely on an improbable Ronaldinho recovery.
