Branca is in charge of the Italian side's transfer dealings but was happy to take Antonio Cassano from Milan in exchange.

Pazzini scored a hat trick for AC Milan this weekend.

“There is no regret about selling Pazzini,” director Branca noted. “Not even after his treble at the weekend.

“We as a club made a decision and so too did Milan. Actually, I’m happy that he is doing what he is capable of.”
