Milan make Carroll shock target

AC Milan transfer consultant Pier Silvio Berlusconi, son of owner Silvio Berlusconi says Liverpool's Andy Carroll "is a future target".

Berlusconi Jnr is president of Mediaset - the holding company that owns the Serie A giants - and has advised the club on transfers in the past. He has been quoted as saying Reds forward Carroll caught his eye in the European Championships for England this summer and says he could be an option in the transfer market at some point. He said: "This is a new era for Milan. We will continue to get younger while maintaining the culture. Milan still has its superstars. "As a future target I'd like Andy Carroll. "I must admit that, for his body build, and after seeing his header in the Euros, I would like to have Carroll at Milan." A move to Milan for Carroll, who cost Liverpool a club record £35million in January 2011, seems highly unlikely at this stage, however, and the former Newcastle star will be hoping to impress new Reds boss Brendan Rodgers in pre-season training when he returns to Melwood later this month.
