Milan looking to sell Essien

Milan are hoping for a good World Cup from Michael Essien, but just so they can sell him for a good price this summer.

The Ghana international joined the Rossoneri from Chelsea in January, but Corriere dello Sport believe that his Italian adventure is only set to last six months.

The paper claims that Pippo Inzaghi has decided that the midfielder is not in his plans for next season, and is placing him on the transfer list.

The Diavolo, according to the sports daily, are secretly hoping that Essien has a good tournament, in order to persuade suitors to take him off their hands during the off-season.
