Milan coach banks on Taiwo for success
AC Milan coach, Massimiliano Allegri, has given by far the biggest hint that Nigeria international defender Taye Taiwo is on his way to the Italian giants in the summer.
French sports newspaper L’Equippe reported this week that Taiwo has bagged a three-year contract with Milan after several eventful seasons at French champions Olympique Marseille.
The Milan coach said at a briefing that Taiwo has been discussed as a target for the summer, but maintained it is not yet sealed.
“We only talked about defence and about (Philippe) Mexes (Roma defender) - everybody knows it - and Taiwo, who’s a very interesting player and could be helpful for us,” said Allegri.
“We just talked about him, nothing is done, but he could be an important option for us.”
Taiwo will be a free agent at the end of the season after he refused a new deal at OM.
