Ancelotti: I Want FlaminiMilan boss Carlo Ancelotti has confessed that he hopes the club completes the signing of Matthieu Flamini.
Flamini is out of contract at the Emirates Stadium in the summer, and having refused to sign a new deal, Arsene Wenger has resigned himself to losing the midfielder.
Reports in the Italian press yesterday suggested that Milan had beaten Juventus to sign the 24-year-old, who would arrive on a five-year contract worth €4m-a-year.
There has been no official confirmation of the move, but Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he hopes the deal is completed.
"If he [Flamini] were to come here on a free transfer, it would be good for our midfield," he told Milan Channel.
Ancelotti also confirmed his attacking line-up for tomorrow’s Serie A match with Livorno at San Siro.
"Filippo Inzaghi will play as the first striker with Clarence Seedorf and Kakà behind him, he stated.
“Alexandre Pato will be on the bench with me."
Milan simply have to win the game if they are to harbour any hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season. They are currently four points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina.
