La Gazzetta dello Sport talked about the match between AC Milan and AC Monza at the San Siro and the possible reunion at San Siro between Galliani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Zlatan, it's stated, was already signed by Milan in 2006, but then Calciopoli happened, and nothing came of it. Four years later, it took the bold plan of the usual suspects—Galliani with his trusted Braida and the super-agent Mino Raiola—to snatch him from Barcelona, bringing him back to Italy and finally to the Rossoneri.
During those days, a great friendship was born between Adriano Galliani and the Swedish superstar.
Galliani, as per the newspaper, has always been a fan of Ibrahimovic, and there was indeed a special relationship between the executive and the player.
For instance, when Zlatan argued with a TV journalist and told her to go home and cook, it was Galliani who insisted on sending a bouquet of roses as an apology. The now-former striker's connection with Milan has always been visceral, just like his relationship with Italy.
