Manchester City's plans to sign in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva of AC Milan to Etihad Stadium seem to have hit a wall. Though already possessing many star players, City coach Roberto Mancini claims he is still unsatisfied of the teams composition. This explains his intentions of bringing in Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to other clubs, City included. Allegri who failed to defend the club's "Scudetto" title in the Italian League Series A this season, does not wish to come up shorthanded of star players for the competition next season.
"Ziatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago will stay in Milan. AC Milan and its president wish to maintain the club's position at the highest level possible. Thiago is still young and Ibrahimovic has still has much to contribute. They are reliable champions in Milan's future. Currently, the club is only seeking replacements for players who have left," said Allegri.
Separately, young Milan striker Stephan El Shaarawy also believes that Ibrahimovic will stay at the Giuseeppe Meazza, San Siro. He highly doubts that the Swede will settle leaving Milan for a contract offer of 300 thousand pounds per week. "His desire is always about winning, I think he will continue being with us at the San Siro." said El Sharrawy.
In the 2011-2012 season, Milan ended the competition in Series A empty handed. Allegri's failed to overpower Juventus, which won the 'Scudetto' and Napoli, the Coppa Italia tittle. Not just that, Milan also failed to make its mark in the European Champions League after losing to Barcelona in the quarterfinals.
