    <span class="titolo">Milan's Goalkeeping Options Revealed</span></p>

    <span class="sommario">Vice-president Adriano Galliani insists that Dida is going nowhere, but a growing band of AC Milan fans are calling for the Brazilian goalkeeper's head. The Italian media, meanwhile, has wasted no time in gleefully suggesting alternatives...</span></p>

    The Italian media has all but declared Dida persona non grata at the San Siro, suggesting a slew of alternatives for the embattled Brazilian at AC Milan.

    Dida could be in line for a FIFA punishment after the unfortunate incident at Celtic Park last week and, coupled with questionable form, that was the last straw for a portion of the rossoneri fanbase.

    The Italian press, meanwhile, has stoked the fires of speculation with a series of claims regarding a change in the goalkeeping situation at Milan.

    Brescia's Emiliano Viviano is said to be their number-one target, with one source claiming that the Milan side has already made a 7.2 million euro bid for the 21 year old.

    However, Brescia supremo Luigi Corioni, keen to play Milan off against other potential suitors - including city rivals Inter - is looking for a figure closer to 12 million.

    Livorno's Marco Amelia was linked heavily with Lazio over the summer but Milan could also be interested in the Italian international's services.

    Lazio, however, have dropped their interest as they continue to battle with the bureaucrats for the right to sign Argentine-Italian Juan Pablo Carrizo.

    As for Milan, as Adriano Galliani said earlier, there is apparently no concrete plan from the Milan hierarchy to change the goalkeeping situation.

    "A goalkeeper? We're not signing a new one; we've got too many as it is," he said.

    "In addition to Dida, Zeljko Kalac, and Valerio Fiori we also have Marco Storari on loan at Levante, Fernando Coppola with Atalanta and Christian Abbiati at Atletico Madrid."

    This remark has led some to believe that one of these three could be subject to a recall. It would almost certainly be Abbiati, who has the most pedigree.

    Nonetheless, for now, Dida's number one.</p>
