Arsenal's hope of holding on to Mathieu Flamini looks to
have failed as the player has told teammates that he was joining
AC Milan. Sportsmail revealed last month that Juventus had
offered the midfielder £3.5million each season over
five years, but that they expected a rival offer from AC Milan.
That has now materialised and the Frenchman seems intent on
heading for the San Siro after purportedly saying: “I
have decided that I will be going to Milan.”
Milan’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti said: “Along with
(Gennaro) Gattuso and (Massimo) Ambrosini, he can bring strength
and substance without losing any quality. Flamini has exceptional
dynamism, he can play three roles, even in front of defence.”
Arsenal may fill the gap left by Flamini with Australian Under-23
captain, Mark Milligan. The 22-year-old player, who can play
in the back four and in midfield, is a free agent after three
years at Sydney FC.
He has spent recent weeks training at several Barclays Premier
League clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester City and Fulham.
