Milan defender Alessandro Nesta has declared that he would be “extremely happy” if Alessandro Del Piero were to join him at San Siro.
Del Piero is currently having serious problems in renewing his contract in Turin and this has led to speculation over the past few days that Milan may launch a bid for the striker.
“If we could sign Del Piero I would be extremely happy,” stated Nesta. “He is a player who does not talk much, but when he does he always says the right things.”
Milan are in desperate need of some attacking reinforcements. The European Champions are going through a dismal run of form, which has seen them go five Serie A games without a win.
The main problem is up-front where they have scored just five goals in their last five league games, with two of these being penalties. No Milan str

Milan defender Alessandro Nesta has expressed his delight at being named in the FIFPro World XI and has thanked his club for helping him through some difficult times last year.
FIFPro is the worldwide representative organisation for professional football players. Every year votes are taken from members for the FIFPro annual awards. This time around Kaka won the individual prize for FIFPro Player of the Year, and his Rossoneri teammate Nesta made it into the team XI.
“I’m really pleased to receive this award by my colleagues, because the respect of my team mates is really important,” said Nesta.
“From the World Cup till today, I went through a difficult period. I broke my shoulder and mentally it was

MILAN - There are 9 Rossoneri players: Maldini, Nesta, Gattuso, Pirlo, Inzaghi, Dida, Kakà, Seedorf and Ronaldo amongst the 55 players in the run for the Fifpro, an award which has arrived in th third edition, where the international federation of the professional footballers awards to the top 11 players of the seasons. On Friday the winners will be announced.
Milan's crisis continues, as only a Kaka penalty gave them a point against little Catania. Carlo Ancelotti's men are still without a home win in Serie A this season.
The Rossoneri were in crisis after picking up just three points from their last four games, including the 2-1 midweek defeat at Palermo. They wasted dozens of chances and could not afford a similar attitude against Catania. Ronaldo, Paolo Maldini and Nelson Dida were still sidelined, so Zeljko Kalac took the goalkeeping gloves. Catania assistant manager Gianluca Atzori continued to fill in for the banned Silvio Baldini, who was joined in the stands by Giacomo Tedesco and Davide Baiocco.
The Sicilians had never won here in Serie A, managing just two draws in 10 previous visits. Kaka should ha

Milan had dozens of chances to win this match, but they ended up losing deep into stoppages in controversial fashion.
Time was running out for the Rossoneri, who had not strung together three consecutive 1-1 Serie A results since 1984. They needed a win in Sicily to keep in touch with the leading pack, but Palermo were still looking for their first home win, having picked up two away victories. Nelson Dida pulled out with a late shoulder injury scare, while Alberto Gilardino and Emerson were given rare starts.
Milan took the lead after 10 minutes with a well-worked team move. Gilardino and Kaka combined with first touch football on the edge of the area for the Brazilian to chip over the defence and Clarence Seedorf stroke

Milan notch up a third consecutive Serie A draw in a frenetic 1-1 against Parma at San Siro with Clarence Seedorf and Andrea Pisanu.
The Rossoneri may be unstoppable in Europe with a 2-1 win over Benfica midweek, but they were coming into this game on the back of two consecutive Serie A draws. Ronaldo remains sidelined along with Paolo Maldini and Serginho, but former Parma hitman Alberto Gilardino's misfiring ways and bitter row with the San Siro faithful hung over this match. The Gialloblu last won here in 1996 and had lost six on the trot at the Stadio Meazza. Domenico Morfeo was ruled out, so Bernardo Corradi took centre stage.
Pippo Inzaghi just failed to get on the end of a Massimo Oddo cross, then an Andrea Pirlo free kick also skimmed the head of SuperPi
