AC Milan Transfer News and Rumours Tracker: Week of August 26

LAST UPDATED: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013

With the Serie A season ending in dramatic fashion, AC Milan have booked a ticket to the Champions League once again.

Now that they have this potent marketing tool at their disposal, the Rossoneri will try to lure several key players to help their young and talented starting XI reach new levels.

This article will be continuously updated with all the latest from Italy in regards to credible rumours of who Milan could sign.

Boateng Joins Schalke After Matri Arrival!

After scoring a brace against PSV in the Champions League, Milan have sold Kevin Prince Boateng to German side Schalke for €11m.

The news comes a day after the arrival of Alessandro Matri from Juventus.

The question now becomes this -- who will take the fabled no.10 shirt at Milan? Fans might not have to wait too long to find out, as Adriano Galliani told La Gazzetta that they'll look to sign Keisuke Honda right away from CSKA.

Alessandro Matri's Arrival?

Alessandro Matri has seemingly spent more time at the beach this year than on the pitch, but that hasn't stopped Milan from wanting to sign their ex-youth player from Juventus.

Even though the deal is not yet official, the Curva Sud had to exclaim their own message on what they thought of the transfer, proudly holding up a sign that read: Matri? No thank you.

Disappointment in Ljajic Situation

After a long back-and-forth between Milan and Fiorentina, Adem Ljajic has joined Roma for €12m.

In today's market, you have to admit that it's a rather modest fee for a player of Ljajic's ability and age. Milan missed out on a jewel.

A Danish Surprise?

According to reports in Italy (via The Express), Christian Eriksen will remain on the Milan radar in the final week of the summer transfer window.

The young Danish international, who plies his trade for Ajax in the Eredivisie, would be a welcome addition in Milan, who are starved for a true No. 10 to link midfield with attack.
