Milan plan Iaquinta swoop

Milan are planning a move to bring Vincenzo Iaquinta to the San Siro in January, according to reports in the Corriere dello Sport on Wednesday.

The Rossoneri strikers are struggling upfront and the Via Turati club has allegedly targeted the Udinese man, who could be snatched from the Friuli-based outfit for around £10.7m, according to the sports newspaper.

It is not clear if Milan intend to sell-off one of their other strikers in order to bring in the World Champion, although it seems unlikely that the Rossoneri will let one of Alberto Gilardino, Marco Borriello or Ricardo Oliveira leave.

Iaquinta was already paired with a move to the San Siro during the summer, when Milan were searching for Andriy Shevchenko’s replacement after his departure to Chelsea in May.

However, Coach Carlo Ancelotti however stated on Tuesday that he did not believe the team needed strengthening and that he was confident that the Rossoneri would soon solve their crisis to get their season back on track. “In January we will not make any purchases,” declared the tactician.

Milan visit Chievo at the Stadio Bentegodi on Wednesday night and are determined to make up for their shocking defeat at the hands of Palermo over the weekend.
