AC Milan coach Ancelotti admits interest in Arsenal’s Gilberto
tribalfootball.com – May 23, 2006AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has declared his interest in Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva.
Gilberto and fellow Brazilian Emerson, of Juventus, are both in Ancelotti’s sights as he seeks a ball-winner to play alongside midfield schemer Andrea Pirlo next season.
“To change something in central midfield could be a good idea in order to give more freedom to Pirlo,” said Carletto.
“To place a powerful player in front of the defence would provide greater freedom to Andrea. This could be a task for a player like Emerson or Gilberto Silva.”
I think many people are interested in Gilberto, and with good reason.
Sadly for Milan, Gilberto is only interested in Arsenal, and has previously stated that he wishes to see out his contract with Arsenal then move back to Brazil.
I don’t really think there is anything to this story, anyway. It was just a passing comment by the Milan coach, and Tribal Football have blown it up slightly.
