AC Milan chiefs consider big names for Pirlo replacement

A raft of big names will be discussed by AC Milan powerbrokers at today's transfer summit. Milan president Silvio Berlusconi, vice-president Adriano Galliani and coach Leonardo will meet today to thrash out plans for the remaining weeks of the summer market.

Along with the expected sale of Andrea Pirlo to Chelsea, the trio will also consider replacements for the midfielder, along with striker and fullback options.

Hernanes (Sao Paulo), Cristian Ledesma (Lazio), Gaetano D'Agostino (Udinese) and even Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) are all under consideration as cover for Pirlo, says La Repubblica.

In attack, Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano and Real Madrid's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar are the prime targets, while for a new wing-back the Milan chiefs all favour Lazio youngster Lorenzo De Silvestri.
