Miranda: Milan want me
Monday 29 June, 2009

Milan could be after another Brazilian youngster as Sao Paulo’s prospect Miranda claims the Rossoneri want him to partner Thiago Silva.

The 24-year-old defender took part in the Confederations Cup with Brazil and has earned a good reputation back in his country.

“There is a possibility that I may join Milan, they made an offer for me,” he told Globoesporte.

“I will meet up with President Juvenal Juvencio to talk about this and then we will decide together.”

Miranda is a non-communitarian player and will be taking the last spot available in the squad. At San Siro he would match up with former teammate Thiago Silva, another non-communitarian.

If the Rossoneri were to seal the deal it would mean they will not be able to sign any other player from outside Europe.

Their new striker would then have to be a Serie A player or at least playing in Europe while any future capture would also have to hold a communitarian passport.

It will have to be seen whether Adriano Galliani and Ariedo Braida are willing to further complicate their transfer campaign by restricting their options due to these matters.
