However, the main purpose of Braida's "Central Europe - Southern Europe trip" is still to evaluate the Europa League match between Porto and Moscow Central Army. The Roman Sports Daily has already revealed that the target of this trip is Fernando, the Brazilian midfielder of Porto. This 23-year-old defensive midfielder possesses strong defense and excellent ball control, he is a "Pirlo + Ambrosini". AC Milan believes he is more suitable to be Pirlo's successor than Montolivo. Currently, Braida who is already in Lisbon denied in a media interview that he is the club's target. Taiwo and Sissoko are the pursuit objects for AC Milan's left-back position, there is not much to say about it. In comparison, Taiwo, whose contract will expire at the end of the season, does not require a transfer fee but needs to occupy a non-EU spot, while Sissoko requires a transfer fee. AC Milan leans towards the latter. Among them, at the Allianz Arena, AC Milan's General Manager Braida personally arrived. Although the news of AC Milan's intention to introduce Robben last Friday sounded somewhat surprising and hard to believe, Braida's appearance at the Allianz Arena indeed gave reason for this news to continue spreading. The Roman Sports Daily reported that Braida also hopes to meet with Bayern's senior management on this trip. However, given that Bayern paid a hefty price to bring in Robben, and players like Balotelli, Kaka, and Ganso are also AC Milan's recruitment targets, one team cannot just buy forwards, so the possibility of Robben joining AC Milan is slim. Therefore, some media speculated that the purpose of this trip by Braida is actually Schweinsteiger. It has long been no secret that AC Milan has shown interest in Bayern's vice-captain a year ago. If Schweinsteiger can join AC Milan, then the double defensive midfield combination from Bayern's runner-up finish in last year's Champions League will be "moved" to San Siro. There is no longer any involvement of AC Milan in the Champions League match day, but AC Milan has not been idle. It is said that at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Old Trafford in Manchester, and Bernabeu in Madrid, there are figures of AC Milan scouts. The Roman Sports Daily reported that Bayern Munich's Robben, Marseille's Taiwo, and Lyon's Ali-Sissoko are all targets being evaluated and pursued by AC Milan.
