AC Milan manager Vincenzo Montella confirmed he would not buy Cesc Fabregas to replace Montolivo at the club. The 29-year old has been constantly linked with Milan over the summer but manager has confirmed that he is not keen to sign the Spaniard in an interview to an Italian media outlet.
“We need a player with Montolivo’s characteristics, someone who knows how to play in a midfield of two. Fabregas does not have these characteristics,”Montella told Corriere della Sera.
“I think Montolivo is nearly irreplaceable. He is important both on the pitch and in the dressing room. It’s an even bigger loss than people think.”
