Lass Diarra close to Milan?

A defensive midfielder is what Galliani and Ac Milan is looking for at the moment and according to Lass representative, a deal could be made soon.

“Lassana Diarra is on vacation in USA. I think that the negotiations will really take off when he returns to Europe, Lassana Diarra to Milan is absolutely a possible deal. Milan like the player. Lass Diarra’s contract expires June 30th 2013 and that means that it won’t cost much to sign him."

“The problem is Lassana Diarra’s salary. He earns €4.5 million per season. I spoke with Adriano Galliani and Massimiliano Allegri about Lassana Diarra when we were on the MSC cruise. And I can say that Lass is definitely one of the players that Milan are the most interested in. The next step is to negotiate about Lassana’s salary. As for the rest: Milan and Real Madrid have an excellent relationship…”

The salary seems to be the issue but lets hope Mr. Galliani can solve it! Lass would be a great replacement for Van Bommel and he has many years ahead of him.
