I know some of the players like Alex, [Michael] Essien, Diego Lopez. Demetrio Albertini also spoke well of Milan and he’s a great friend of mine.I was close to joining Milan when I was at Atletico Madrid, but we’re talking about many years ago, a long time has since passed. I know the history of the club and it is illustrious. I want to make the fans happy. I couldn’t wait to arrive and start the new season. I have already spoken to the coach.”Source: Sky Sports"
