AC Milan has made many stars yearn for it. And many of them are very close to the San Siro, but unfortunately for various reasons, they did not wear the shirt of AC Milan.
Fabiano
During his time at AC Milan, Kaka recommended his team-mate Fabiano in Sao Paulo to the club on several occasions. The Sevilla killer is also passionate about joining the Rossoneri. However, AC Milan's offer fell short of Sevilla's expectations, and the two Brazilian stars ultimately missed the opportunity to play together at the San Siro.
Cesc Fabregas
When he was at Arsenal, he single-handedly eliminated AC Milan in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. At that time, AC Milan had already taken a lot of interest in Cesc Fabregas. In the summer of 2011, AC Milan saw Cesc Fabregas as Pirlo's successor, but the youngster's desire to return to Camp Nou was strong.
Tevez
In January 2012, AC Milan and Carlos Tevez basically reached a verbal agreement to join. Tevez had a falling out with Manchester City at the time and was ready to leave the team. However, Manchester City won the Premier League title that season, and Tevez also reconciled with Mancini, and the transfer fell through.
Ericsson
In the summer of 2013, Danish star Christian Eriksen was in the hot spot in the transfer market. AC Milan are also among the chasers and have made a transfer price of €10 million. However, Tottenham are offering a higher price tag and Eriksen became a Tottenham player at the last minute on transfer deadline day.
Henry
In the summer of 2007, AC Milan, the reigning Champions League champions, were very attractive to Thierry Henry. Galliani also paid a good salary. Unfortunately, Barcelona's willingness to bring in Henry at that time, coupled with the lobbying of his friend Samuel Eto'o, ultimately Henry missed the opportunity to become a member of the Rossoneri.
Tony
European Golden Boot Toney has said that he very much wants to join AC Milan, and Fiorentina has also accepted AC Milan's offer of 15 million euros. However, in the end, manager Carlo Ancelotti rejected the transfer. The reason was that Tony was 30 years old at the time and had too many injuries.
Jankoller
After Euro 2004, AC Milan became interested in Czech high school striker Jankoller. Carlo Ancelotti wanted a senior striker in his squad, but Borussia Dortmund offered Kohler a £7 million fee. After an assessment, AC Milan decided that the asking price was too high and abandoned the plan to bring in Jankoller.
Van der Vaart
Back in 2003, AC Milan made an offer for the then rising Dutch star Van der Vaart. Van der Vaart also wants to emulate his idol Van Basten to join the Rossoneri. For many years after that, AC Milan had been interested in Van der Vaart, but they never got it.
Hamsik
While playing for Napoli, Hamsik was arguably the top midfielder in Serie A. In the summer of 2011, Hamsik applied for a move to the club for a bigger platform and said that non-AC Milan would not go. Unfortunately, the transfer price of 40 million euros is too much for AC Milan to afford.
Dzeko
In the summer of 2009, AC Milan reached a personal agreement with Dzeko. The Bosnian striker says he has been an AC Milan fan since he was a child and is very excited to be at the San Siro. However, Dzeko was Wolfsburg's number one star at that time, and Wolfsburg kept him with great force.
