Agent: Milan for Felipe
Friday 9 January, 2009

Milan could overtake Juventus in the race to sign Gremio ace Felipe Mattioni, according to the player's agent.

Juve have been repeatedly linked with the Brazilian defender over the last few weeks.

But just as it seemed that the Old Lady were ready to negotiate a deal, Milan seem to have entered the equation.

“It's true that Juve are after him, but I would say that Milan are too,” Felipe's agent Mino Raiola told the Corriere dello Sport.

“He is a first-class player and he is ready to play on the big European stage.

“I think that he is the kind of player that Milan like and I would define him as such.”

Felipe has an Italian passport and so wouldn't count as a non-EU player, but Milan have already secured the signature of Thiago Silva from Fluminense and are unlikely to sign another stopper.
