AC Milan plot £40M-plus double raid for Man City's Tevez, Balotelli

AC Milan are planning a double raid on Manchester City.

The Sun says Milan are plotting a move for Manchester City's Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli by cashing in on striker Alexandre Pato.

The Italian club want to sign Tevez and also have their eye on a summer swoop for Balotelli.

To get the £45million needed, the cash-strapped Italian giants must sell Brazilian front man Pato.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani insisted Tevez has told City he only wants to join Milan, though reports in Italy suggest cross-town rivals Inter are still in the hunt.

Galliani said: "The negotiations are very much alive.

"Manchester insist on a loan with an obligation to buy and we insist on a loan with the right to buy."
