Answer: Filippo Inzaghi

Filippo Inzaghi was the most surprising because he was from Juventus, and at the end of the 200-01 season there was no sign of AC Milan targetting him for his signature. Javi Moreno came from Spanish club Alaves, where he played in the UEFA Cup Final vs Liverpool, which they lost 4-5 in extra time.

He was signed to fire AC Milan's attack, but he failed and was later sold to Atletico Madrid. Manuel Rui Costa was Fiorentina's captain, where he won a trophy, the Coppa Italia, together with Francesco Toldo, Enrico Chiesa and Roberto Mancini (as a coach).

But because of the club's dire financial situation, he and Toldo were sold, which gave Fiorentina enough to discharge their debts. Martin Laursen was bought from Parma.

Answer: Alessandro Nesta

Alessandro Nesta is the one. Although Stam wanted to be signed, it didn't happen and Pancaro was signed for the next season. AC Milan had once said that they impressed with and wanted to sign Fernando Couto, but didn't make the next move with him.
