AC Milan forward Robinho doesn't feel that the club need to bring in a new striker

The Brazilian ace has told club there is no need for new faces to strengthen the squad up front and doesn't feel compatriot Ganso with join the Serie A champions

AC Milan forward Robinho is sure his team do not need any more players up front, and he cannot see Ganso arriving from Santos.

Robinho, who scored 14 goals in 34 league games last season as the Rossoneri lifted the Scudetto, feels there are enough players in the squad not to warrant a new arrival in attack.

"One thing is for sure and that is that we don’t need any new attackers," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We already have a lot of options and don’t forget that Pippo Inzaghi will be back too. He never gets old."

And he expects to see great partnerships being forged between his team-mates.

"Next season you’ll see Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato in devastating form," he added.

"They make a perfect partnership together."

Meanwhile, Ganso has often been linked with the Serie A champions, but Robinho cannot see the move materialising.

"It will be difficult to bring him to Milan," he said.

"He’d cost a lot and today Santos are the Barcelona of the South American game. He’ll have to think long and hard before deciding to leave."

Thiago Silva urges AC Milan not to let Ganso get away

AC Milan defender Thiago Silva has urged his club not to allow Santos star Paulo Henrique Ganso move to a rival team.
Milan have pulled back from negotiations for the attacker.
“I have talked to Ganso and he is recovering in record time from his muscle strain,” Silva told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "He wants to play in the Copa America and he wants Milan.
“I have read that the deal has come to a stop. I have read that he may arrive in December, but that’s no good, Ganso must be taken now. This is the right time.
"To me, it seems like Milan have very clear ideas on how to strengthen the squad. Next year we will try to win everything.
“With the right purchases, we won't feel envious of Barcelona. That's why I said that we must not lose any time with Ganso.”
