San Siro is a stadium from large Europe, thinks Granit Xhaka, and patience if for the real Champions League challenges there will be a little longer: for a season it can be done without it, especially if the new Milan will fight to regain it quickly. That’s why to the soundtrack of the matches of the main international tournament, which Xhaka would listen to the Bayarena of Leverkusen comfortably, the Swiss prefers the silence of Milan: a silence that the club hopes turns transformed as soon as possible into a renewed enthusiasm.

Desire Milan

The new course announces is attractive, that’s why even a player of the caliber of Xhaka suffers his distance charm: he would like to leave Germany to move to San Siro.

If Xhaka represents the experience, Javi Guerra can be the young man to launch. In all senses: a talent that Milan would like to enhance in Rossoneri and that Allegri would use as a midfielder-incursor in the field. The Spanish of Valencia is a 2003 class: at 22 he scored four goals at his first true season in Liga and three in the one just ended. He has the goal in the barrel and the idea of ​​Milan is that he can raise the account in the Rossoneri. The cost is already high: at least 25 million. But there is a summer in front to treat.
