The young Brazilian creative midfielder has long been linked with a move to Serie A, as the Rossoneri, Inter, Roma and Juventus are among those who have shown an interest.
It is widely reported that agent Tiago Ferro, whose company owns 55 per cent of his contract, is in Italy this weekend and will meet with Adriano Galliani later today.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Santos would be prepared to release Ganso for around €20m.
Milan hope to reduce the price-tag by including striker Robinho as part of the deal, as Santos already declared their interest in the former Manchester City and Real Madrid hitman earlier this month.
Robinho has already played for Santos in his career and would be welcomed back as a star in his native Brazil.
Yep, read that of football italia. I had figured Ganso's current market value being around 20m (I think I mentioned it on the forum somewhere), so this deal makes sense.

Allegri likes dynamic midfielders, but I think generally he has wanted ball players as well. Last season he used Seedorf and much of this season he used Aquilani. He eventually stuck with Nocerino and Muntari either side of MvB/Ambro, but I think this was a result of long injuries to both Seedorf and Aquilani, and Muntari did well with his passing game since joining. Given that when we lack a ball player in midfield we rely more on Ibra dropping back, I'm sure Allegri will welcome guys like Montolivo and possibly Ganso with open arms.
The biggest question regarding Ganso is workrate right now, but I'm sure Allegri will relish the chance to manage such a gifted player (I'm sure most managers would).

So, I assume Pirlo didn't like playing as left CM (I suspect, one of the reason Pirlo didn't get chance as often as before he injured himself is that he didn't like Allegri's decision giving the anchor position to Bommel and Ambrosini). Before he got injured, Pirlo play as left CM and interchange his position with Ambrosini while playing (sometimes Pirlo as anchor, sometimes Ambro while the game was playing). CMIIW
Correct, not playing as regista and not being offered more than a one year contract is the key reasoning behind Pirlo leaving. Allegri preferred more physically stronger players in front of defence while Pirlo wasn't interested in playing another position. I still doubt Allegri would reject having a player with Pirlo's capabilities in his side.

You have to remember a year ago before his knee injury, Ganso was valued at around 40-50 million, comparable to Neymar. His value since has dropped by more than half. That said, he's still a highly promising and reputable player, so his value definitely won't be less than 20m (I'm sure Santos will still say he's worth around 30m, like we do with Pato). Robinho on the other hand can't be worth any less than 15m. We got him for 18m, he did great last season while was poor this. He's only 28, but the problem is I doubt there'll be great interest in the market for him and he's made very high profile mistakes in CL, hence his value probably having dropped a little. Presuming Ganso's worth about 20m and Robinho around 15m, we'd only be looking to make up a difference of around 5m.
