Italian giants Milan cannot afford £10 million for Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc, according to their coach Carlo Ancelotti...
The Rossoneri - also in the hunt for a striker such as Samuel Eto'o, Emmanuel Adebayor or Didier Drogba - report that they do not have the money to swoop for Celtic stopper Boruc, despite Ancelotti even admitting he wanted the keeper a year ago.
“I wanted to bring Boruc to Milan about a year ago, but now the price is too high,” Ancelotti told the Daily Mail. “Milan cannot afford Boruc. We made some efforts but it did not happen and now I have three goalkeepers in any case.”
It is suspected that a certain amount of money is being put aside for a striker - who will be the priority signing - and only leftovers will be available to purchase a goalkeeper, should Ancelotti look to briing in more quality to back up his highly criticised current crop of keepers.
Milan's general manager, Ariedo Braida, has hinted that Boruc is still a possibility. “Boruc is a wonderful goalkeeper, he has been incredible for the past couple of years. We are going to lose Dida, possibly Zeljko Kalac, so we need to bring in a new one.
“Boruc has a big price tag, £10 million is a lot of money, but I cannot exclude anything.”
What can be read into these contradictory statements remains to be seen, particularly as speculative rumours from Sky Sport Italia this morning alleged that Emmanuel Adebayor has agreed to sign for the club. 作者: 城里的月光 时间: 2008-6-12 02:13
