Andrea Dossena (AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli)

Milan consider Dossena

Milan are preparing a bid to bring Andrea Dossena back to Italy, as Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez looks ready to sell him.

The 27-year-old full-back joined the Reds from Udinese last summer, but has failed to hold down a first team place.

Despite a good performance against Manchester United in March, Dossena has found it hard to impress Benitez.

He has made just 13 appearances for Liverpool this season and is said not to figure in the club's long-term plans.

Milan would like to give their existing full-backs, Gianluca Zambrotta and Marek Janukolovski, some healthy competition.

Dossena has seven Italy caps and is versatile enough to help out across the defence and midfield.

He is likely to cost £8m, as Liverpool look to recoup as much of the £10m they spent on him last summer.

Several other teams in Italy and England are believed to be interested in signing Dossena, who started his career with Hellas Verona

I hope we can get as much as the 7m we spent on him (I don't know why it says 10m), simply not good enough to cut it in the Premiership

It's clear he's got no future here so if an offer comes along we should definately offload him.

Straight away I don't believe it because they haven't even got their facts right because he cost £6-7mill not £10mill which means £8mill would be a profit made.

With Aurelio and Insua both proving themselves to be a very good pair of left full backs, I think he's all but gone in the summer. Hopefully we'll be able to recoup most of the money spent on him as he's quite highly rated in Italy.

Scored a couple of good goals and maybe hasn't been enough opportunities and trust but to be honest, much like keane he is a player we never needed. Feel bad for the chap but he just isn't needed.

I'd snap their hands off for £8m.

Put it in the Villa money jar Rafa!

AC Milan are getting desperate... not quite the team they was are they? SELL HIMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the goal against the mancs though, that was priceless haha

I'd sell him especially if we can get the money back, he is not better than either Insua or Aureilo and we need money in the summer, so to be honest I'd sacrifice this lad.

Do you think Raffa would get all the money plus the cash he got for Keane as well as the transfer kitty for next season to spend. If yes let him go.

Sell for £8 million? Yes.

Do I believe the article? No.

Isn't he too heavy to get on a plane?

Reckon he'll have to go by boat?

Sell the bloke

Feel sorry for him abit, to be bought and then being shipped out after a year. Apart from 2 memorable goals he hasn't exactly made a lasting impression. Slightly unreliable defensively.

Lucky for us he is rated in italy. ill be happy if we got 5m for him,

Sell for £8 million? Yes.

Do I believe the article? No.

Ditto.

Well put.

Taxi for Dossena. Never looked settled to me no doubt he is a quality player but not shown for us.Bite thier hand off for £8 million.

Channel 4 source egh... I hope they speak the truth, but I doubt it

let him go..we have fabi and insua which is good enough for me

Doss is not good enough here imo. Too slow I reckon. Offload him asap if not his price will continue to drop.

Let me just double check something with you.

There is still just one AC Milan, right?

Personally ive got a feeling he could be starting to get to grips with the premiership, hes said himself he was taken aback by the speed and the power of our game. But in the current climate we need to finance other players and he looks one of the most likely candidates to be chopped. But as i said ive a gut feeling he could be a top defender in his second season if he stayed. He certainly wouldnt be the first overseas player to take a year to adapt, the most famous for me being Thierry Henry, christ he couldnt do a thing right for a long while and look how he turned out. I know people will think ive lost it but he must have a lot more to give than weve seen of him, but if the right money comes in for him .. well i couldnt really argue.

He must havesome thing going for him as both A C Milan and Raffa wanted him

I agree with paulboo I think he deserves another season he seemed to improve as time went on
