Milan To Tempt Sergio Ramos In The Summer

AC Milan want to make Sergio Ramos one of the key pieces of their summer rebuilding programme and are hoping to tempt him to Italy with a huge pay rise, according to a report.

The Serie A outfit are set to reconstruct their squad at the end of the season as they off-load several veteran stars and are looking to the cream of European football.

Ramos is seen as the new Paolo Maldini in Milan and the club are obsessed with signing him as part of their ambitious plan, Marca report.

With players like Maldini, Cafú and Clarence Seedorf, among others, all set for the exit door, the Rossoneri have drawn up a list of targets and have a massive budget behind them.

Arrigo Sacchi is a huge fan of the Madrid defender and was instrumental in convincing former Bernabéu president Florentino Pérez to shell out €28m to sign him from Sevilla.

Marca believe that the former coach has been waxing lyrical about Ramos to Silvio Berlusconi and is stating that he would be the rock in the defence.

While the 21-year-old is happy at Madrid, the only way that Milan could make him consider leaving would be to offer him huge personal incentives and they the story claims that they have a financial package ready.

Despite the non-aggression pact signed between the two clubs a short time ago, Berlusconi is hoping that Ramos will instigate the move and state his desire to go to Italy.
