AC Milan Linked With Barcelona Captain Carles Puyol
The Euro 2008 winner is now on the radar of the Rossoneri, as they monitor his contract situation...
Apparently, the player is waiting to be offered a contract renewal, as his current deal expires in 2010. The Spanish international would like an extension until 2012, but the club are still considering their options.
The Rossoneri are reportedly ready to step in. Puyol has never hidden his admiration for the Italian outfit and their vice-president, Adriano Galliani, has compared Puyol to the legendary Paolo Maldini in the past.
The 31-year-old has spent his entire career with the Catalans, making over 400 appearances in all competitions and playing a part in two Champions League titles.
Meanwhile, free-spending Premier League side Manchester City have also expressed an interest in the Spain defender.
