AC Milan consider cashing in on Pirlo

AC Milan's reluctance to open new contract talks with Andrea Pirlo has led to speculation that they're ready to sell the playmaker.
Pirlo has less than two years left on his existing Milan deal and so far is still to hear from club officials over a new contract offer.
The Italy international declared before Friday's Calciopoli ruling that he wouldn't consider playing in Serie B and "it would appeal to me to play in Spain, I've thought about it".
Manchester United were linked with Pirlo last week and Italian media reports today state Real Madrid and Arsenal are also preparing to bid for the World Cup winner.
