AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is hopeful of one big signing in January.
Milan have been linked with a high-profile signing of their own in the shape of Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez.
Galliani said: "Someone has always come in the last few years, two years ago it was Beckham, and last year it was Cassano.
"This year I don't think there'll be anyone but you never know."
