Landreau joins Dida list

Nelson Dida’s time is up, as Milan draw up a shortlist including Sebastien Frey, Mikael Landreau and Celtic’s Artur Boruc.

A succession of howlers have seen Dida lose the confidence of the club and Coach Carlo Ancelotti, so the race is on to find a replacement during the January transfer window.

The prime candidate had up until now been Fiorentina’s Frey, who is currently out of action following surgery.

Another favourite is Boruc of Celtic, who impressed the Rossoneri when they crossed paths in the Champions League both last season and in this term’s group phase.

Boruc would be willing to leave Parkhead, but Milan face competition for his signature from Arsenal.

This morning the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ claimed that Paris Saint Germain have offered shot-stopper Landreau to the Rossoneri.

The former Nantes star moved to PSG in 2006 and has never quite been able to live up to his potential, notching up only four senior Bleus caps.

Nonetheless he has a good pedigree and is known for his penalty saving capabilities. More importantly, he would be available to play in the Champions League, whereas Frey and Boruc are cup-tied.
