"Milan can already buy Italian national team defender Stefano Fiore this summer without having to search for local ingredients. It is believed that Milan will be looking for defenders this summer as Edgar Davids, Giorgios Karagounis, and Belozoglu Emre are likely to leave the club. Suspicions about the acquisition of S. Fiore are reinforced by the uncertain future of Argentine Juan Sebastian Veron at the club. S. Fiore has been interested in by another Italian club, Turin's Juventus, for some time, but now it seems they have turned their attention to other players. The Italian national team defender came to Valencia last summer, but neither under the coaching of Italian Claudio Ranieri nor currently under Antonio Lopez has he been able to establish himself in the starting lineup and is likely to leave the club this summer. S. Fiore has worked with current Inter coach Robero Mancini when he coached the Lazio team, and has expressed a desire to work together with R. Mancini. The defender stated that his game is influenced a lot by the coach's trust, of which he received plenty from R. Mancini. Partially confirming the talks was the Italian agent: "Fiore is a player that Mancini likes. Valencia also understands that Stefano's career in Spain has no prospects, so I think we can reach an agreement that satisfies both sides."
