Milan CEO and vice-president is currently on a brief
vacation in Forte dei Marmi, and he took some time out to speak with the press.
"I'm not happy about Italy having lost a Champions
League spot. We would have had a calm summer if we had qualified directly for
the Champions League, but we're Milan and we will try to qualify."
"Mario Balotelli's physical condition? Mario should
be ready for the match against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. It's going better with
Balotelli's knee, and Allegri told me that he should be ready for Tuesday.
Milan is in a good condition both physically and mentally. I saw the team play
well in Germany and USA, and it seems like we're in a good condition, but we
will see how it goes."
"Keisuke Honda? The situation is very clear. He has
made a choice and he has told it to the CSKA Moscow management. His contract
will expire soon, so he's free to go wherever he wants to go. It also happens
to us that out of contract players leave and arrive. Such is football. CSKA
Moscow own the player, and if they want to sell Honda to us, then we will sign
him now. If they don't want to sell Honda now - which they have the right to do
- then he will join Milan in January on a free transfer. If there's still time
to sign him before August 19? No, the transfer window closes on September 2,
and it's obvious that the deal becomes less and less interesting for us as time
passes by. However, you never know what can happen. Football is like
that."
