Paris St Germain confirms interest in Angel di Maria

Paris St Germain have finally confirmed their interest in star winger Angel di Maria. The Manchester United man has been widely linked with an exit at just 12 months after his arrival at Old Trafford. Di Maria is the club record signing at United. Despite starting his life at Old Trafford in the best possible circumstances, his form began suffering in the second half of the campaign.

Towards the end of the season,Di Maria was relegated to being a bit part player in the team. The situation does not seem to have improved even into the pre-season. Manager Louis van Gaal has failed to quell the speculation around Di Maria. In fact, he has stated that the future of the winger still remains uncertain, but he is hoping that he remains at Old Trafford. PSG have been credited as the only club interested in the Argentine. They were interested in signing him even before he moved to Manchester.

Now, though, the French champions are keen on taking advantage of the uncertainty by offering United a substantial transfer fee. Even though it would represent a loss on the £ 60 million that they paid to Real Madrid, United would rather sell him than keep an unhappy player.

Silvio Berlusconi has tried to win back fans

AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has tried to win back fans by saying that he is once again ready to invest in big-name players and managers. The club has limited its investment over the last couple of years and has consequently slip down the table. After two poor campaigns under their former players – Clarence Seedorf and Filippo Inzaghi, Milan find themselves outside the European elite after a long time. One of the most successful clubs with seven European cups to their name, Milan will even be without the second-tier Europa League for the upcoming season.

In order to revive the club’s ailing fortunes, Berlusconi says that he is ready to bring back former manager Carlo Ancelotti. A move for getting former player Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also underway according to the former Italian president. Ancelotti left Milan in 2009 and has since managed clubs like Chelsea, Paris St Germain, and Real Madrid. He is on the verge of being sacked at Madrid and this would leave him free to discuss terms with a new club.

Ibrahimovic, meanwhile, is the mainstay at PSG despite being almost 35. His age could allow PSG to let him leave and return for Milan for a nominal figure. Continue reading “Silvio Berlusconi has tried to win back fans”

Filippo Inzaghi deserves to be Dished out at the moment

Filippo Inzaghi probably deserves the flak that he is being dished out to at the moment. Well, it can’t be said that he is behind all AC Milan’s woes, but, he could certainly have done better as manager at San Siro. The former striker has tried to experiment a bit too much. While, he was within his rights to try out a few combinations and see what his best XI was, he must have given regular games to the players at the same positions to make them settle down.

However, you can’t brutally criticize him as he has had to make forced changes at times because of the injuries. Whatever games are left there in the season for Milan now, Inzaghi should make sure that he puts the best available line up on the park. As far as the defence is concerned, Inzaghi has plenty of options there, but, it’s the midfield where he is struggling to find a reliable player.
