Mateta: Intense Negotiations
Milan has ramped up negotiations for the immediate arrival of French striker Mateta, currently at Crystal Palace. Until now, the rossoneri had an agreement with the English club for the player to transfer back in June, but now they want to anticipate the operation. The new offer is 35 million euros, 5 million more than the initial one for which an agreement had already been reached.
The Player’s Ambitions
Mateta, a 28-year-old striker standing over one meter and ninety, has expressed his desire to don the rossonero colors. According to the latest reports, he will not be called up for the match against Nottingham Forest and has requested to be sold, thereby demonstrating his intent to leave the English club. An agreement for the salary has already been reached: 3.5 million euros plus bonuses for three and a half years.
The Defense: New Ambitions
But that’s not all; Milan is also searching for a center-back. Today, a summit was held between Max Allegri, Igli Tare, and Giorgio Furlani, where Allegri exited satisfied. This meeting is reminiscent of what occurred during the summer transfer window, where several defenders were signed in the current year’s negotiations. With the transfer window closing on Monday, February 2, time is short but critical for these maneuvers.
A Future in the Squad
Another important news is the arrival of Malick Sissé, an 18-year-old Senegalese defender, in Milan to finalize his contract after medical visits at the “La Madonnina” clinic. In conclusion, Milan is strengthening its roster to confront the second part of the season better, not only thinking about new acquisitions but also potential exits like in the case of Nkunku, who is sought after by several teams.
Stay tuned for further updates on Mateta and all of Milan’s market movements!
