Ibrahimovic determined to win silverware with AC Milan next season

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has emphasised his desire to win silverware with AC Milan after signing a contract extension with the club. The 38-year-old joined the Rossoneri on a short-term deal in January and he contributed 10 goals and five assists from 18 appearances as the club qualified for the Europa League.


He has now put pen-to-paper on a new contract until June 2021 and has expressed his desire to win some kind of silverware with the San Siro outfit, he told the club’s official website: “The choice to return to Milan? I’ve come here to bring Milan back to where it should be and I’ll do everything to achieve our objectives. We need to work hard and make sacrifices but I think in the last six months of last season everyone understood what is needed to achieve our objectives. But we must not forget, we haven’t won anything, yet. In my mind, my objective is always to win something, that’s my objective, I start the season intending to win… To win, simply put.”

Koulibaly stresses Napoli commitment amid United speculation

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has indicated that he is committed to the team’s cause despite the ongoing speculation linking him with a summer departure. The Senegal international is widely regarded as one of the best central defenders in the world and his stock has risen over the past few years despite Napoli’s struggles to secure regular silverware.

Speaking to reporters, Koulibaly said that he has improved as a player in Naples but he has not won anything to show for the progress. He added that he remains committed to the club, who have believed in his abilities and would like to guide the club to some kind of silverware, he said: “I’ve grown compared to five years ago but I haven’t won anything yet. I’m a Napoli player and I’ll give 100 percent to win something with this shirt. The market is full of talk, I prefer facts, which help us win, and to become great together. Napoli have given me so much. After the initial scepticism, their fans appreciated me. I would like to give them a trophy back.”

Napoli wanted to lure EdinsonCavani back to San Paolo

The departure of ZlatanIbrahimovic to Manchester United has opened up a new world of possibilities for EdinsonCavani who always had to settle being in the shadow of the Swedish giant.


Now that Ibrahimovic is scoring goals in the Premier League as a performer of Manchester United, Cavani has the chance to step it up and become the main goal-scoring machine of PSG.

NAPOLI WILL BOUNCE BACK

Pepe Reina is of the view that the attitude of Napoli in their previous Serie A game versus Bologna, which they lost, was not right and they were probably still in the hangover of the win that they had registered over Internazionale a week back.

It was only the second defeat for the Blues in the Italian top flight in the ongoing season, but, it influenced their position in the points table significantly as they slipped down straight to no. 3.

CAVANI WANTS SPAIN MOVE

Napoli striker Edinson Cavani, who has been linked with several clubs across Europe, has stated that he would like to play in Spain. This has alerted the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Chelsea and Manchester City were thought to have a keen interest in the striker, who has proven in the last few years that he is one of the best in the business. The 26-year-old Uruguay star is widely expected to leave Napoli at the end of the season. The Italian club recently lost their manager Walter Mazzarri, who was instrumental in the success that the club has had in the last four years.

NAPOLI NET WIN

Napoli has defeated AS Roma in a Serie A match played at Stadio San Paolo on Monday. Napoli won the match by a profound margin of 4-1. This was the 12th victory for Napoli in the ongoing Serie A league. With the help of this win, Napoli has moved up to no. 3 in the points table with 37 points in 19 matches.

ROSSI BACKS NAPOLI

The former Lazio and Lecce boss Delio Rossi has said that the Italian Serie A title this season will be fought between Juventus and Napoli because they are the two strong teams in the division.

CAVANI CLOSE TO NEW DEAL

There have been reports claiming that the Napoli striker Edinson Cavani is close to signing a new deal with the club that will see the release clause in his contract rise to € 60 million.

The Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani is one of the most wanted players in world football after clubs like Manchester city and Chelsea have been after him. However, Napoli have been able to resist the chances of the Premier league and the Spanish clubs. Edinson Cavani was one of the main reasons for the club doing well in the Champions League last season.

MANCINI CHOOSES ROBIN

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has hinted that the club would not be making a move for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani after the excessive demands by the Italian club.

He has said that Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is a much more suitable target for the club given that his transfer fee would be relatively low. It has been a shift in the transfer policy for Manchester City after winning their first major title in form of the Premier league.
