The 21-year-old did not arrive in the end, but recent reports from SportMediaset suggested that Milan may still get their man, as Leonardo has reached a rough agreement with Nice.
Now, Saint-Maximin has seemingly opened the door for an exit by claiming he wishes to play at a higher level.
“Of course I want to reach the highest level, it would be a lie to say I want to stay here [Nice] for my whole career but I know that I have to do well on the field, then we will see what happens,” he told Canal Football Club, via Calciomercato.
