| Spalletti's Milan revealed |

Milan are prepared to give Luciano Spalletti a sack of money to spend this summer if he leaves Roma, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.
The Rossoneri expect Carlo Ancelotti to leave at the end of the season either for Chelsea or Real Madrid, and Spalletti is now the favourite to replace him.
Spalletti has endured a disappointing season with Roma and is eager to try his hand with one of Italy's 'Big Three'.
Roma currently lie sixth in Serie A and with the club's owners in financial trouble, Spalletti will have little or no money to spend this summer.
The Tuscan tactician is fed up of doing business on a shoestring and appears frustrated at the board's inability to help him take the team to the next level.
Chelsea interviewed Spalletti last year and he reportedly passed up the opportunity to train the Blues because of the language barrier.
Il Corriere dello Sport believe Milan are willing to give Spalletti not just a shot at the big time, but the chance to build a new team.
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Udinese trequartista Antonio Di Natale are believed to be on Spalletti's wish list, as he looks to introduce the 4-2-3-1 system to Milan.
Reports also suggest Spalletti would like another defender to play along side young Brazilian centre-back Thiago Silva.
Udinese stopper Felipe is the name Il Corriere believe Spalletti wants for the role, but players from Milan's academy have not been ruled out either.
Spalletti is said to be willing to recall the 'Baby Milanisti' - Davide Astori, Ignazio Abate, Romano Perticone and Davide Di Gennaro - from their respective loan spells.
The 50-year-old Roma Coach has an excellent reputation for bringing through and developing young talent.
Spalletti is now thought of as the favourite for the Milan bench because he has greater experience than other frontrunners, Massimiliano Allegri and Leonardo.
He has a track record in the Champions League and almost guided Roma to the Scudetto last season.
