Get all the latest news on Italy’s Serie A here as we cover both Serie A and the Italian team in the European competitions

AC MilanAC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani claims his side are nearer to closing the gap on European champions Barcelona than Real Madrid.

Milan have already played Barca twice this season in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League with the Rossoneri earning a notable draw at the Nou Camp in September before losing 3-2 at the Giuseppe Meazza last month.

Galliani believes Milan have provided a bigger test for the Catalans who recently beat Madrid 3-1 at the Bernabeu in El Clasico.

AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi could be on his way out of the San Siro according to Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani. The 38 year old veteran striker has failed to make an impact in Allegri’s squad this season and with the impending arrival of Carlos Tevez next month, Inzaghi’s chances of playing look dimmer and dimmer.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Galliani was quoted as saying that Inzaghi may have to move to another club if he wanted to achieve his dream of becoming the all time leading goal scorer in Europe.

“Pippo Inzaghi’s dream is to set the record for European goals,” Galliani said.

Ac Milan‘s Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic finds himself on the wrong side of the law for the umpteenth time as he escaped a ban from league matches after a federal prosecutor decided not to present video footage as evidence against  his charge of blasphemy.

Now Ibrahimovic is a good  player, there is no denying his abilities, however, his ego is just to big. To be honest, when i first read the title of this story, i had already drawn up images in mind as to what he could have said.

Serie A leaders Juventus lost their hold on top of the table after settling for a barren draw with Udinese at the Stadio Friuli last night. The draws sees Milan pip Juve to top spot although both clubs remain level on 34 points.

There was some good news for Claudio Ranieri and Inter Milan as his side were big winners on the night beating Lecce 4-1 at the San Siro to move up to to 5th place.

The Nerazzurri now head in the winter break knowing that they are firmly back in the race for the Serie A title. Napoli were the other big winners on the night after thrashing Genoa 6-1 to register only their second win in 8 league outings.

So the Carlos Tevez transfer saga is starting to get a little boring. Recent reports emerging say that the 27 year old is eager to join Milan despite City being totally against Milan’s loan plan.

AC Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani is set to meet City this Thursday in a final meeting that is intended to iron out all the contentious issues. According to Galliani, Tevez is happy with the results of their first meeting and the only real problem emanates from City’s hard stance on the striker’s final buying price.

AC Milan Goes Back Atop Serie A

AC  Milan - PSV in San Siro - www.yme.nlAntonio Nocerino and Zlatan Ibrahimović were on target as AC Milan went top of Serie A by beating Siena 2-0 at San Siro.

Nocerino drove the Rossoneri in front with a low shot through a crowded penalty area nine minutes into the second half. Ibrahimović confirmed victory with a powerfully-struck penalty, awarded after goalkeeper Željko Brkić brought down Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Massimiliano Allegri’s men are a point clear of Juventus and Udinese, who play Novara and Lazio respectively on Sunday. Chievo picked up their first victory in four games beating Cagliari 2-0 thanks to goals from Cyril Théréau and Gennaro Sardo.

AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has finally spoken out on the Carlos Tevez transfer saga saying that the Argentine has the choice between joining a prestigious side like Milan or moving to a club that is able to meet his financial requirements.

Commanding a weekly wage of £200,000, Tevez does not come cheap and it is this fact that it the bone of contention between his club City and Milan. The only other club that has emerged as a challenger to Milan is French club PSG.

“Carlos Tevez faces a choice between prestige and money. AC Milan is the prestige,” Berlusconi told reporters before the teams annual Christmas dinner party.

It’s about that time again when clubs begin digging into their pockets to bolster their squads for the Last half of the season. The most famous transfer deal making headlines everyday without a doubt has to be of want away Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.

It seems like with every passing day, a new twist emerges rendering the progress made futile. By the end of last week, it had been reported that both Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani and Carlos Tevez’s agent Kia Joorabchian.

However this week, new developments suggest that the Argentine could possibly move to PSG as the club’s wealthy owners are ready to meet City’s £35 million offer.

As one unbeaten run came to a close in England, another ws sustained in Italy as the magic hands of Italy and Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon earned the Bianconeri a 1-1  draw with Roma.

It’s been interesting to see how the Italian Serie A is playing out these past couples of weeks. Many did not expect the likes of Lazio, Napoli and Udinese to put up such a stiff fight for such a long time.

Juve‘s latest result sees them take their unbeaten run in the league to 14 games. Folowing their result, Juve moved back to the top of the league level on 30 points with Udinese. Defending Champions Milan are in third place just 2 points of the lead.

The Serie A‘s Golden Bin nominations have been revealed and i am quite surprised to see who made the list. Once again Juventus dominates the list with Felipe Melo ( who i thoroughly agree should be on the list) and Milos Krasic making the cut.

Others who made the list include Luca Toni, Amauri, Diego Milito, Diego Forlan, Mauro Zarate, Adrian Mutu, Santiago Silva of Fiorentina and Eduardo from Genoa. So just what does it take to make it to this infamous list?
