AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has reportedly questioned Adriano Galliani's decision to sign Inter's Mancini on loan.

The Italian premier is on a business trip to Israel and he has reacted indifferently to the signing. He's unhappy not because Mancini plays for Milan's bitter city rivals Inter but because the winger is the wrong fit for the club.

"I really don't understand it," the Italian prime minister told Jerusalem's Italian community, sources at the meeting said.

"He is another creative player when we need someone who can finish off moves. He's not played for two years. I don't agree with getting him and I've told Galliani."

Berlusconi has always enjoyed a good relationship with Galliani so it's a surprise to see him telling off the chief executive. It seems that Milan's recent derby defeat to Inter has raised tensions in the Milan ranks.
