Milan mulling over Cassano swoop

AC Milan have confirmed they are in negotiations with Sampdoria for striker Antonio Cassano.

Cassano discovered on Thursday night he will be suspended until January 31 and that his wages will be reduced by 50% for the duration of his contract as punishment for his bad behaviour back in October.

The 28-year-old Cassano wants out of Samp and AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed his club is working on acquiring the player.
