AC Milan Eye Kuffour, But....

AC Milan intends to tempt Bayern Munich with $13,7m plus Brazilian defender Roque Junior for their priced defender Samuel Kuffour.

The German and European champions turned down offers from Barcelona, Lazio, Inter Milan and Lazio for the Ghanaian international this summer.

....Milan Dismiss Speculation

AC Milan deny they are poised to bid for powerful Bayern Munich centre-back Samuel Kuffour.
The Rossoneri were reported to be trailing the Ghanaian, but club vice-president Adriano Galliani shot down talk of interest on Wednesday.
"The market is closed for AC Milan," he said.
There had been suggestions Milan would offer defender Roque Junior in part-exchange.
But Galliani added: "There is no interest in the Bayern defender and Milan have complete confidence in Roque Junior."
