Italy striker Gilardino joins AC Milan (Agencies) Updated: 2005-07-19 09:12
"Why did I choose Milan? Because they are the strongest club in Europe and
for me it is a great honour to wear these colours," he said on signing for the
Champions League finalists.
Gilardino has been a regular for Italy since Marcello Lippi took over last
July after the striker was controversially left out of the Italy squad for Euro
2004 in Portugal.
Last season Milan openly expressed an interest in Gilardino, who is widely
expected to spearhead Italy's attack at the World Cup if they qualify for the
2006 finals in Germany.
