Robinho could transfer to AC Milan

After the transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from FC Barcelona was made, AC Milan could announce the transfer of another star. Silvio Berlusconi talked about signing another champion, and all the data seem to indicate that it is Brazilian Robinho.

Berlusconi is very pleased with how the team is prepared by the Italian Massimiliano Allegri and reveals that he did not like how AC Milan evolved when Carlo Ancelotti or Leonardo were coaches.

"With Allegri we started well and we should continue the same.

If a player that we are interested will be accessible, we will take it.
If it were up to me, I would take the Brazilian Roninho. We have not had an attack so good from the time of Van Basten.
With Zlatan in the team we will be a force in Europe and worldwide" said the president of AC Milan.
