Veloso on verge of Milan move
-
Manchester United target Miguel Veloso claims he has received contact from AC Milan and says a move to the Italian giants would be a "dream".
The Sporting Lisbon midfielder has attracted several suitors this season, with United reportedly having a bid for Veloso and his Sporting team-mate Joao Moutinho knocked back earlier in the year.
The 22-year-old, who is currently at Euro 2008 with the Portugal squad, now says he is confident of a deal being struck with Milan.
"Me to Milan? I'd say yes to them, it's a dream (to play for them)," he said in Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
"You only have look at what they've won in Europe and internationally.
"I'd say there was a good chance (of a deal being struck), yes. They've contacted us, now we'll wait."
Reports in Portugal also suggest that Barcelona are set to make a 25million euros bid for Veloso's midfield partner Moutinho.
However, the Portuguese youngster was less emphatic about any possible transfer activity, saying: "Right now I'm only thinking about Euro 2008 and after the tournament there will be time to think about these things."

Veloso Unhappy With £25million Price-Tag
Portugal and Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso has admitted he is unhappy with the £25 million price-tag the club have put on him.
The 22 year-old currently with the Portuguese squad at EURO 2008 has been linked with Serie A side AC Milan, and Premier League clubs Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent weeks is ready to move on from the Leoes.
Veloso said: "£25 million is a lot. I don't want to think about the prospect of a good offer arriving for me and Sporting saying 'no'.
"Up until now, I don't know if Sporting have been listening to offers for me.
"I've made it clear that I'm ready to move on, because many only value Portuguese players when they're playing outside the country".
