Carlo Ancelotti admits that he would like to welcome Ronaldinho to San Siro, but is focused on delivering fourth place first.
These are testing times for Carletto as his world champions trail fourth-placed Fiorentina by four points.
With the possibility of missing out on next term’s Champions League looming, Milan need to bounce back immediately after last weekend’s defeat against Atalanta.
“We aren’t worried by the whistling from the fans and there is no conflict between us and the supporters, especially as they drove us to fight back against Atalanta,” Ancelotti maintained.
“It’s only natural that there is some disappointment at the end of a game that you lose.
“I haven’t changed the way that I conduct myself. It would be wrong to try and shirk responsibility – it will always be shared between the players and myself.
“To finish fourth we will need to win lots but we are taking one game at a time. Cagliari are a compact and lively side and I am expecting more attention and determination from the lads.”
Milan have been strongly linked to unsettled Barcelona star Ronaldinho over the last few months.
The struggling star has been sidelined for six weeks - effectively ending his season - and is expected to weigh up his options in the next month, but there have been suggestions that he wouldn’t fit in with the current squad.
“The club is weighing up its position on the player,” Ancelotti explained.
“It’s not a matter of bringing in Ronaldinho to please me, but he is indisputably talented and his arrival wouldn’t rule out signing an outright front man.
"There wouldn’t be a clash with Alexandre Pato because he is a different kind of player.”
In order to stand a chance of landing 'Dinho, Milan must ensure they are playing Champions League football next term and badly need maximum points against Cagliari.
Ancelotti is expected to play Clarence Seedorf behind Kaka and Pato in an attacking trident against Sardinians.
With Massimo Oddo out for the season, Daniele Bonera or Marco Cafu will take the right back role.
Milan (probable): Kalac; Cafu, Maldini, Kaladze, Favalli; Pirlo, Ambrosini, Gattuso; Seedorf, Kaka, Pato
