Galliani: 'Ibra wait, forget Witsel'

By Football Italia staff

Milan CEO Adriano Galliani joked about Alessio Romagnoli and is “waiting for” Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but slams the door on Axel Witsel.

The transfer guru was in the stands for today’s 5-1 victory over Legnano and spoke to fans.

He was asked about the latest €22m offer that Roma rejected for 20-year-old defender Romagnoli.

“Well, if we offer so little, then what do you expect...?” he said sarcastically.

As for Paris Saint-Germain striker Ibrahimovic, his return is still on the cards.

“We will wait to see what happens. Ibra is the only one with a licence to kill!”

However, Galliani said fans could forget about seeing Witsel arrive from Zenit.

“No, enough now, the only objective is a central defender. Unfortunately Modic didn’t get his work permit in Switzerland, to the great disappointment of Lugano and Zdenek Zeman. Mastalli will go to Lugano instead.”
