AC Milan lining up £5m bid for Gallas

The Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani insisted last night that they are not considering making a move for Arsenal defender William Gallas in January.

But the Sun says AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti wants to bring in an established defender to replace Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta.

The 31-year-old has 2 1/2 years left of his £80,000-a-week contract at the Emirates.

It is believed AC Milan are ready to match Gallas’ wage demands.
