AC Milan in talks with Arsenal over Fabregas

Posted on May 30, 2011 by admin

There are reports in Italy today that the AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani spent the weekend in London after watching the Champions League Final, and pre-arranged a meeting with a representative of the Arsenal board.

SportItalia reckon that Galliani has made contact with Arsenal to fnd out exactly what price the club will agree on for them to discuss details with the player himself. Do you notice that they are taking the legal route rather than the blatant tapping up we are used to from Barcelona?

Milan finally took the Serie A title back from Inter this season, but they know they need to seriously improve the team if they want to go the next step and really challenge for the Champions League trophy, and they believe that Fabregas could be the catalyst for success.

Only Arsene Wenger and Fabregas himself knows what has been discussed between themselves, but if Wenger persuaded his captain to stay for one more year, then a serious bid from someone other than Barcelona may persuade the Gunners to sell and reinvest the money.

I doubt there are many Arsenal fans would complain if he went to Milan. Or am I wrong?

    I dont think that Fab would go to Millan even if they bid the 60million price tag he only wants to go to barca no other club and if they dont offer i think that he would be happy to stay at arsenal

    For me, Cesc is our leader and one of the best in football, he also loves Arsenal. We have to keep him in the team, otherwise we treat him with respect and let him go where he wants, and i think he wants to go to Barçelona

    No, I wouldn’t complain. If he plays the way he’s been playing this season, then I’d rather he goes. Nasri to move back to the Fabregas role so he won’t be missed. He played only about 22 out of 38 league games so if he stays, his price might come down to 15 m pounds. But NOT to Barcelona. Milan? Ok

    Milan just admitted a few days ago that they cant afford Fabregas, and its not like they can convince Wenger AKA Scrouge to lower the price, personally i think Fabregas will stay this season.

    Cesc is under contract cannot say he wants to leave and then choose where he wants to go. We can sell him to the highest bidder if we want. Or are you suggesting we sell him for a few bob to barca just cause that’s what he wants? If they really want him let the put up the required cash.

    Hello arsenal fans I saw this article and decided to read the comments.not trying to be an ass but some of you guys underestimate Milan as we didn’t really sign anyone for a few years after we won the CL until this year. but really incase you guys didn’t know our owner is the prime minister of Italy and a huge billionaire and he promised a massive signing if we won the scudetto which we did. plus we got money for winning anyway and we just got rid of our best creative mid pirlo. so we can easily afford him, last year everybody said we couldn’t sign anyone over 15mil and we got ibra robinho and in January cassano and van bommel and now we already have taiwo an mexes. so basically I’m just telling milans perspective on this transfer. what worries me is that he really wants barca, but why go there and sit the bench or come to Milan for three years,win some trophies,and go to barca when xavi leaves. Milan never keeps players against their will(sheva kaka pirlo).

    Why doesn’t Wenger just sell Cesc to Barcelona and get Villa in return, Villa has had a terrible season there and it would be a good bit of business just like when Mourinho swapped Ibrahimovic with Eto’o and look what Eto’o did for Inter….anyways thats what I would do but Wenger must remove his stubborness or make it 7 seasons with no trophies

    Cesc has no more loyalty and basically doesn’t care about Arsenal anymore…this was proved when on the final day of the season, the CAPTAIN, jets off to the spanish grand prix instead of being with his team mates at the end of a terrible and disastrous season….he must go and be replaced with a player who actually puts effort into his performances.

    let cesc go where ever he wants, if he shows as little desire as he has done for us this season hell only warm the bench where ever he goes.

    as good as he mite be barca players are allowed as many mistakes in a season as cesc makes in one match for us, and if he cant keep himself fit i give it two years tryin to break barcas team before they cut there loses like they did with henry and he ends up in italy like all the so called big names that cant do it when it counts end up. ronaldhino, ibrahimovic, need i go on.

    im sick of cesc dissrupting this team, get shot to who ever bids a sensible price and let this team, us fans, and all connected to arsenal move out of cescs shadow and finally move on. ENUF IS ENUF!!!!!!!!!

    Fabregas will leave Arsenal as soon as possible, because he want to win trophys. And therefore he will he leave for a club which can win trophy.
    Fabregas come to milan and wind some trophys like CHL. I don’t think you will win any thing fi you stay at Arsenal. Come to milan Fabre will will love you!!!

    @Admin
    I know it’s only words but your post made me shudder when I read “someone other than Barcelona may persuade Arsenal to sell AND RE-INVEST THE MONEY” (my capitals). I had the awful nightmare of the money earning bank interest rather than being spent on a replacement.

    First off gunner from how you type it shows how much you know secondly how do you know that its not the case that he wants to stay. I dont I’m just speculating and if Barca want him that bad they will take him. But if he goes to barca is career will pritty much end there he will bench warming 80% of the time. The barca squad doesnt need improving maybe a left back thats about it. I ran out of patience 3 years ago I still support Arsenal he even said himself that he is willing to stay next season so that he can win a trophy for the fans Gunner you are a massive idiot. And from what you said i think that you should shut up as you clearly know nothing about football.

    like most of afc fans i’m so annoyed of this cesc-barca saga. i just hope they bid some decent money or a money + player(s) deal that is acceptable.
    personally i don’t care where he goes, could be acm as well.

    barca should just pay the fu*king money or shut up, it’s as simple as that.

    if wenger buy new faces this summer i will stay at arsenal…
    i suggest him to sign:

    1.adil rami from lille he is very good in air n strong.
    2.charlie adams he’s good in free kick as i don’t have pace in my ball.
    3.lucas podaski is better winger n can play as strike when rvp is not there.
    4.agureo/hulk, if hulk we can plat theo upfront along with rvp.
    5.vergothen young n talented will be good additional.

    I think Cesc’s heart isnt in the game anymore,not like the way it used to be anyway. As much as I would love to cling onto him, without his passion for arsenal, hes useless; I think hed only go to Barcelona though; thats the only reason he wants to leave! To go back home and return to his routes, I dont blame him to be honest.

    Honestly why do some people suggest that we sell Fabregas. I don’t care if we get 100 million for him, Wenger will never spend that much. It completely goes against the philosophy of Arsenal. I started supporting Arsenal in 2008 when I got into football. I only supported Arsenal because we played the beautiful game and were the only english team to do it. If I wanted someone spending 100s of million pounds I would support Man city or Chelsea.

    Also who do you think we should buy to replace Fabregas? No one is good enough. Only Xavi and he isn’t going to get better.

    We need to keep both Fabregas and Nasri and adopt the true Barcelona approach to football. Get rid of wilshere in the midfield. Sure he is great and very talented for his age but our midfield is not full of that creative trickery that Iniesta provides for Barca. That is what Nasri will provide. Wilshere should be played when we want to be a bit more defensive or we need a hard working player. Fabregas and wilshere can rotate if needs be.

    all this speculation is driving me nuts. right, i would rather cesc stayed with us at arsenal, hes repeated several times that he would only leave arsenal to go to barca. after all hes done for arsenal it would be so wrong to even consider selling him to a club which he doesnt want to go, for more money than barcas willing to pay. if cesc realy and truely wants to leave us then let him go home.

    If he comes to Milan, We will be as good as Barca. Fabregas=Xavi, VBommel>Busquets, Boateng<Iniesta. Midfield is at par with Barca's. And Robinho, Pato, Cassano & Ibra options are as good as Villa, Messi and Bojan(KID). As for defense, nesta and silva are comparable to puyol and pique. Only Dani Alves is a difference, but Abate is prospering.

    Please sell him to Milan-Real madrid, Barca are annoying me with these 30mil-35mil bids he’s worth 45M+. I like Fabregas but after this season I think he should be sold he’s played poor all season scored like 5 goals, and is always injured he’s missed to many important games… FA cup, Carling cup, and when he does finally play against barca he gives the ball away to let them score and plays rubbish. For me it’s a must sell.

    Personally I don’t think cesc wants to leave or really be disrespectful to Arsenal. He is just upset because he does not win anything, if he really wanted to push for a move he would put in a transfer request. Nasri the “hero” is pulling all kinds of contract stunts that cesc has never and look at the overall win per centage Arsenal have with and without cesc its like a 30 per cent difference. That’s hard to replace. He won Euro and the World cup and had to watch his teammates blow the Carling cup while injured, that is frustrating. Cesc loves Arsenal and we just being to hard on him. Players pull stunts, Tevez, Rooney did but their supports forgave them why not cesc ? And he won’t go to Milan

    You arsenal fans really don’t know shit about football. No wonder why you havent won anything since the FAcup 2004. He’s coming to Milan and thats final. At least we have the decency to give you a fair amount of cash unlike Barcelona. So you should be happy if he signs for Milan. Forza Milan!
