Marquez in Milan link
Wednesday 21 May, 2008

Italian giants Milan are being linked with a third Barcelona player after Rafael Marquez popped up on their transfer wish list.

The Rossoneri are in the midst of a squad revolution after only finishing fifth this season and missing out on Champions League qualification.

While rumours insist that Gianluca Zambrotta and Ronaldinho are on their way from the Camp Nou, the Mexican could join them.

A cultured central defender, the San Siro outfit are in need of fresh faces in the middle of their backline.

There is still some uncertainty over whether Paolo Maldini will continue to play, while Dario Simic will be heading out of the Meazza.

The club’s current first choice central pairing consists of Alessandro Nesta and Kakha Kaladze, but neither have had comfortable campaigns.

Marquez, a World Cup star, has been linked with Milan and Italian rivals Juventus in the past.

Barcelona are set for a clear-out with former Brescia midfielder Pep Guardiola taking over from Frank Rijkaard as boss.
