After the departure of the first player, when the new coach Jose Mourinho announced about reducing the number of players in the team, Argentinian defender Juan Veron became the one who was on loan to the Milan club for a year. The 29-year-old Argentine national team defender has already spent the best years of his career in Italy. In 1996, he moved from "Boca Juniors" in Buenos Aires to Italy. There, after playing for two seasons, he caught the eye and was bought for 18 million euros. After three years, Veron moved to Rome. In this club, coached by current England national team coach Sven-Goran Eriksson, Veron became a leader, won the Italian championship and cup, and was considered one of the best defenders in the world. English teams wanted to have such a player, and in July 2001, they paid a record 44 million euros for him. Veron's first season in Manchester did not go well, but he gradually adapted and in the second season helped the team win the English championship. But then came the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who wanted to make Chelsea a super club and bought Veron for 21 million. Although the Argentine was paid well in London, plagued by injuries, he never found his game.
