AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has revealed that Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart are all on the club’s transfer radar, but Cesc Fabregas will be too costly.

Having won the Serie A title for the first time since 2004, the former European champions are set to enter a new era and are expected to strengthen their team for next season’s campaign.

Galliani revealed earlier this month that Milan are seeking a left-sided midfielder in the summer and has reiterated the stance on Thursday, adding that Santos starlet Ganso and Palermo playmaker Javier Pastore do not meet this criteria.

“It seems that Ganso is not a left-sided midfielder and the same goes for Pastore,” he told reporters. “We already have two attacking midfielders in Kevin Prince Boateng and Clarence Seedorf.

“There is no Mr X or Mr Y, there is a need for a left-sided midfielder. Kwadwo Asamoah of Udinese is one, Napoli’s Hamsik is one, so is Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart.”

Galliani also denied reports of a Milan bid for Arsenal captain Fabregas, saying: “Fabregas is too expensive. It’ll be difficult to sign a player from one of the big European teams.”
