Albanian oil baron Rezart Taci is set to buy into AC Milan. Taci pulled out of takeover talks for Bologna this week and dropped a big hint over his next move when speaking with Corriere dello Sport: "Before the championship gets underway, I will become a minority shareholder in a big club.

"Huntelaar? We needed him."

Indeed, Milan will wrap up a deal for Real Madrid striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar today - and their transfer plans will not end with the Dutchman thanks to Taci's mooted fresh investment.

Tottenham fullback Gareth Bale and exciting San Lorenzo striker Gonzalo Bergessio are being linked with the Rossoneri today.
