Milan slap 24million euro price on Gilardino
MILAN, June 5 (Reuters) - AC Milan are prepared to sell unsettled striker Alberto Gilardino for 24million euros ($32million) if he still wishes to move, club vice-president Adriano Galliani said on Tuesday.
The Italy forward, who scored 12 goals in Serie A last season, had said he does not feel fully appreciated at the San Siro.
'The team continues to believe and have faith in him,' Galliani was quoted as saying on the club Web site (www.acmilan.com). 'However, his comments in recent days are not particularly pleasing to us and therefore if he continues to be unhappy and wishes to move, we will let him go if a club bids 24 million euros.'
Filippo Inzaghi was preferred to the former Parma forward in Milan's Champions League final win over Liverpool last month and took full advantage by scoring twice.
Galliani added that only Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and 'a couple of English clubs' could afford Gilardino, who will miss Italy's Euro 2008 qualifier in Lithaunia on Wednesday after deciding to have knee surgery.
Milan struggled for goals in the early part of the season after selling Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea. They brought in Ronaldo in January but have since been linked with the return of Shevchenko or a bid for Arsenal striker Thierry Henry.
However, Galliani said they had already tried and failed to capture France's Henry.
'He is a player who we have always liked. After the transfer of Sheva we were close to buying him but the great man wanted to stay at the club that launched him and made him famous,' he said. -
he was so hot at parma.
-
too expensive. doubt any club would pay such a hefty price tag.
-
But he's definitely worth that price tag
-
I think Inter Milan should make a move for him. Since Adriano is there and their partnership at Parma is phenomenon.
Cheers.

Don't think so I guess.. He was a replacement for Adriano when Adriano left. Adriano partnering Mutu was a great partnership.Originally posted by CKeer:I think Inter Milan should make a move for him. Since Adriano is there and their partnership at Parma is phenomenon.

Anyway, I don't think he is worth that much. He hasn't prove that yet. He is good, but not 24 million euros. -

-
not worth that much
he is not a proven striker. too inconsistent -
can go lazio....would be a good move for him...

i watched a couple of ac milan's matches and he did quite well, he have a great understanding with the ac milan midfield plus inzaghi is getting old. Plus Gilardino should be able to pair well with Ronaldo as Oliveira more of a backup. Maybe Milan does not want to sell Gilardino as they are thinking that he is a vital part of the team and they are just putting up that price just to scare off his suitors
