Milan win Lugano chase

[DugiNesta]

Never heard for this player before, he plays for Urugvay national team?
If he's best defender in South America, then we should pay attention..
24 years old? Perfect.

just hope he is good

Tell me.. is Milan really interested in him or it's just a rumour?

Milan Next Generation: Eyes On Lugano

Diego Lugano’s arrival in Europe is imminent, and could already take place this January.
AC Milan, who have an excellent relationship with Lugano’s club Sao Paulo thanks to Kaka’ and Leonardo, are tracking the Uruguay international, currently considered as the best defender in Brazil.

Lugano recently renewed his contract with the Brazilian giants until 2008, but Sao Paulo could accept to let him go if Milan dish out around 5 million Euros.

Sao Paulo’s Brazilian Championship campaign ends this weekend, while in December they will be off to Japan to partake in the World Clup Championship.

After the new FIFA tournament’s conclusion, Lugano will be free to join the Rossoneri

Milan are in desperate need of renewing their aging defense, and an arrival in January could allow Lugano to take advantage of the second part of the Italian season to gett used to the Serie A in order to be fully ready at the start of the next season.

Liga sides Real Madrid and Sevilla are also rumoured to be after Lugano's services.

Cool, I guess we'll see him then! What teams except Liverpool and Sao Paolo will take part in the WCC? Any chance the UCL runner-ups?

This is from Planetfootball.com:

Sao Paulo defender Diego Lugano is unaware of speculation linking him with a move to Milan while Liverpool are also believed to be admirers of the centre back.

The Uruguay international is still coming to terms with his country's failure to reach the World Cup finals and is not paying too much attention to the stories claiming the Rossoneri will pay up to €4 million (£2.7 million) for his services.

Lugano is focusing on the World Club Championship in Japan with his club while the Brazilian outfit have indicated that Liverpool, Real Madrid and Sevilla also want to sign the player.

"I don't know anything about what is being said about Milan," he stated.

"It's good to know that there are European teams interested in me but, personally, at this moment, I am only thinking about how we will play with Sao Paulo in Japan.

"After that, in the future, I will decide what I will do with my career.

"In addition, to say the truth, there isn't currently anything official."

Sao Paulo's Marco Aurelio Cunha lifted the lid on the situation regarding Lugano.

"For only €4 million, I can ensure that Lugano will not leave Sao Paulo," said Cunha.

"We have already had a similar proposal this year from Real Madrid, Sevilla and Liverpool and we refused all of them."

sorry i forgot bro

 

[Wild]

Is this official ?

 

[Congo Powers]

Is this official ?

no...i don't see any quotes or anything to back-up the credibility of the claim either..

 

[NeSTa_86]

is there someone who knows this player\1?

 

[Demerio]

i dont know the guy and i dont know how he plays....i really dont know for the first time!!!
Why we just dont make a bid for some proven defender like John Terry

 

[Sidd]

this is nothing like what we were imagining, but atleast he's young and seems to be tallented!
great news!

 

[Sidd]

i dont know the guy and i dont know how he plays....i really dont know for the first time!!!
Why we just dont make a bid for some proven defender like John Terry

its always better to go for those quiet unfamous 1s coz they then turn out to be the heros

 

[17-und-4]

I don't think anyone will come in January,like always,but lets hope for the summer.
I would like to know more about him.
Can somebody tell us??

 

[Demerio]

its always better to go for those quiet unfamous 1s coz they then turn out to be the heros

Yeah i know i was kidding about John Terry...
We need young blood back side but who will be the right choice will see.
I hope Leonardo has right about this guy. He made a good assessment with KAKA and let this Lugano valuation will be his right one...

 

[Sidd]

but if he's probably on milan's mind, then i don't think they would be able to afford Gonzalo Rodriguez too ?! Hell i dont care, I JUST WANT SUM1 NEW on milans defence AND FAST!!!

 

[Leo_123]

This guy is a freak defender, saw him play against Australia in both legs. HE IS VERY GOOD. his dirty, but he'll be playing for us. And maybe thats what we need, a dirty defender that would cause a bit of controversy. Look what it did for Man U with Keane.

And i think his only a dirty player on an international stage anyway, with the WC at stake he was told to play dirty. There havent been any reports of him being dirty when he plays club ball.

I think Milan should sign him, he looks the good as a player and we REALLY need defenders

 

[xerooption]

we "need" him in Jan., the brasilian championship is over neways.
all that needs to be done is send some paper to Sao Paulo and he'll be ours..

he doesn't need his off season...he'll be spending most of his time on the bench anyhow. at least for now...u know how carlo doesn't trust young players. he prefers the ones from the old folks home. (stam, costacurta, maldini, cafu...well maldini and cafu are diff., they are mutants. so minus 2 yrs. from their age. heh heh. )

 

[Rex]

Aside from Lugano's win praises as the best defender in Brazilian, I'd still prefer the board should have taken a young-proven defender precisely throughout Italian football that the scout could've monitored the talents. If Lugano really comes to Milan, he must have proved me wrong then.

 

[Sidd]

"AC Milan have secured first refusal on Sao Paulo defender Diego Lugano.
The Uruguay international is a prime target for Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo and has also been the subject of a £2.5 million bid from Inter Milan.


But Milan have gained first refusal on Lugano courtesy of their good relationship with Sao Paulo, which was established two years ago during the transfer of Kaka from the Brazilian giants.

Lugano is seen as a potential replacement for Jaap Stam, though Milan haven't decided if they will sign him in January or June. "
YESSS finally hope at least this lad would be able to turn over this poor run of milan's

 

[Inzaghi9]

happy to see a new defender that is considered very good in Brazil,hope that he'll play so well at Milan too.

 

[Jasper]

lugano scored two goals for sao paolo today

 

[halfblackwinner]

hmm, just hope that the news are true. i really want this guy. he seems great as what you people have said, and we really need defenders...

 

[DugiNesta]

lugano scored two goals for sao paolo today

wow defender 2 goals he look's Nice

 

[milanist]

A defender scoring two goals in a match? This must be the next Maldini!

 

[Passion for *9*]

Hm... so he's considered the flavor of the month 'best defender' in the Brazilian league, huh ? Doesn't sound too convincing.

 

[Besi]

It sounds good that we will finally sign young defender.. (if we)

 

[Passion for *9*]

You gotta be shitting me!

This bloke is such a prick, dirty player. Saw him play for Uruguay against Australia and he was at it all night with his dirty tricks...well he is from Uruguay what else should we expect.

I hope this is all a load of shit, i honestly dont want to see a player like this at Milan!

Best defender in the Brazilian league?...they must have some lousy defenders there then

He can't be that great or I would have heard of him And I really don't like what you're saying about his dirty player rep. As much as we need defenders under 30, we shouldn't act desperate

 

[TheGrinch]

Better we try to get Chivu than this guy, although i haven't any idea how good / bad he is...

 

[r3dman]

lugano scored two goals for sao paolo today

Isn't he a central defender? He must've scored those after corners, no?
