Milan, Fassone:"Biglia was the first player we thought of acquiring"

During today's press conference to introduce Lucas Biglia, Milan director Marco Fassone revealed an intriguing backstory:"Lucas maybe the last one to arrive, but he was the first player that we thought of. I remember that with Mirabelli we thought of him last September and with the first phone calls to Lotito in October we told him:"Just know that if the closing is completed we'll bother you next March and April to get Biglia" It was a complicated negotiation that was closed last weekend. We needed a player like him, he's a leader, the captain of Argentina's national team, he can guide the team on the pitch"
