Milan certainly want Fabregas. I think they've wanted him for a long time now, but this is the right opportunity they feel. Barcelona, after winning the double, are also in a world of financial hurt and may not be able to pay for Fabregas. Milan NEED an ACM, and before the Financial Fair Play rule begins, Milan are a bit more desperate.
Galliani likes to always fly under the radar and not give away who is true transfer targets really are. I believe that Fabregas is the deal that Mino Raiola has been working on for months. Unfortunately, that does not mean we will surely get him, as Fabregas certainly wants to return to Barcelona where he will then take over the position of Xavi. With all of the games they play, there would not be a problem rotating Pedro, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, etc.
Being an Italian-American, I don't want to see us lose a lot of our Italian base. Nesta has just a year or so left in him, as does Gattuso, Ambro, & Zambro. Cassano is only player left who has the quality to stay long term, but my prediction is that he will leave in order to get playing time so he can feature @ EURO 2012 & beyond. If we get Fabregas, I believe we would just keep 4 strikers, and we would not buy a replacement to Cassano. The midfield is the key to our success at the next level, and with the FFP rule starting now, we must reinforce our midfield no matter what the costs, or the nationality of the players.
