The Italian midfielder has reportedly indicated that he would favour a move to Atletico over a transfer to Chelsea...
Andrea Pirlo has been one of AC Milan's players linked with a summer exit, following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea.The Blues and Atletico Madrid are both understood to be in the running for Pirlo, who joined Milan from arch-rivals Inter in 2001.
And, according to Marca, Pirlo would prefer a transfer to Atletico rather than a reunion with Ancelotti at Stamford Bridge. The reason is simple: he believes his qualities suit Spanish football better.
It is also reported that the prospect of moving to the Spanish capital appeals to the player's family, especially his wife.Chelsea are, so far, the only side to have officially approached Milan, according to the Spanish paper, having had their €15 million offer rejected by the Italian giants, who value the midfielder at €18 million.
Pirlo has allegedly told the Milan board that his preference is to go to Atletico Madrid and that he would not mind signing an inferior deal if it meant a switch to the Vicente Calderon.
