Milan will not make any more signings in this transfer window, said owner Silvio Berlusconi before seeing his side beat Juventus 5-4 on penalties to end a run of pre-season defeats.

"The market is closed," the Italian Prime Minister said at the San Siro after Milan claimed their second victory in 11 pre-season friendlies.

"Milan must find the desire to win in the great players we have."

His team kick off their Serie A campaign at Siena on Saturday while Juventus entertain Chievo Verona on Sunday.

  1. Please get a new owner we all know that he is broke. We­ need a right back and a atacking midfilder at least.­ that is what he did last year and where did we finish­ third. If he continues like this we will never win the­ scuddetto or the championsleague again.

  2. It was a pretty unentertaining game last night but­ credit to Milan for winning in the end. To comment 16,­ I agree they need a new first choice keeper but­ it's obvious that was never a priority for­ Berlusconi (who is an idiot). Like many, I don't­ believe Boriello will do this business for Milan,­ Huntelaar needs time to adapt (clearly from his­ performances so far) and Inzaghi isn't getting any­ younger. Their season hinges on getting the best out of­ Ronaldinho and Seedorf, retaining Nesta and Inzaghi­ from injury and alternating Pato and Inzaghi up front,­ bringing in Huntelaar in the easier games to get him­ started

  3. Last night Milan prouved that kaka` is expendible, so­ we should stop crying afetr him 'cause he ain't­ comming back; what we need right now is a goalkeeper,­ Berlusconi knows that and he should open up his bag and­ buy one.

  14. Comment hidden due to its low rating. Show

    I do not understand that why the Prime Minister Silvio­ Berlusconi to intervene in all cases, transfers in­ football????

  15. So Berlusconi is saying "We are not going to spend­ any of the Kaka money....because 'guess what?'­ we are hugely in debt due to my mismanagement!"

    From Winston Bunn, on Sun 21 Jun 6:45PM
  16. I think what he's trying to say is that they REALLY­ wanted to hold onto Kaka, and Kaka apparently wanted to­ stay at Milan, but due to the situation they are in­ with debt, there was no way they could deline such a­ maddening bid.
    After all, every player has a price, and­ since Real, even though they're vastly in debt,­ seem to have a bottomless pit of transfer money,­ meaning in fairness, they are ruining the game and­ transfer market for everyone.

  17. that's a bit rich, isn't it?! Surely you should­ have taken the 'moral highground' and accepted­ £20m for Kaka. All this is is publicity for a very­ unlikeable man who should keep quiet until he brings­ more talent through the youth system (apparently Milan­ used to have one!)

    From Simon, on Sun 21 Jun 4:13PM
  18. What's the point of criticising the prices to have­ already accepted "a mad" price for Kaka.?
